Winger (ice Hockey)
Winger, in the game of ice hockey, is a forward position of a player whose primary zone of play is along the outer playing areas. They typically flank the centre forward. Originally the name was given to forward players who went up and down the sides of the rink. Wingers generally have the least defensive responsibilities out of any position on the ice, however they are still tasked with defensive duties such as forechecking duties or covering the point in the defensive zone. Nowadays, there are different types of wingers in the game — out-and-out goal scorers, checkers who disrupt the opponents, and forwards who work along the boards and in the corners. Often a winger's precise role on a line depends upon what type of role the other winger plays; usually lines will have one more goal-scoring oriented winger and one winger more focused on playing the boards, checking and passing the puck to others to take shots (if a larger player, he will sometimes be called a "power fo ...

The Milwaukee Sea Gulls were a minor professional ice hockey team based in Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They operated in the United States Hockey League (1945–1951), United States Hockey League for just one season before the league folded in 1951. History After their previous farm team, the Kansas City Mohawks, folded in 1950, the Chicago Black Hawks needed to find a site for their new minor league affiliate. The recently opened UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena, Milwaukee Arena provided a major incentive for the Hawks, as did its proximity to Chicago. That fall, the Milwaukee Sea Gulls played their first games. While the team featured many of the players from the Mohawks, they were also about as successful on the ice, as in, not much. Milwaukee finished last in the conference and missed the postseason. During the league's summer meeting, the member teams decided to dissolve the USHL. Chicago wanted to keep minor club in Milwaukee and tried to get the American Hockey League, AHL ...

Los Angeles Ramblers
The Los Angeles Ramblers were a senior men's ice hockey team that played one season (1946–47) in the Western International Hockey League. History In 1946–47, a group of Los Angeles businessmen entered a team in the WIHL. Having to guarantee all expenses for teams from Kimberley, Nelson, Trail and Spokane, with each club making four trips and playing a doubleheader, proved too expensive to sustain, especially with Los Angeles having a team in the more popular Pacific Coast Hockey League. To add color to the league, the Los Angeles Ramblers' executive came up with the George Montgomery-Dinah Shore Cup, a trophy donated by the film-famed pair from Hollywood. The trophy went to the league champions, with the Kimberley Dynamiters the first team to have their name carved on the cup. Coach Kenny Stewart, a native of Lethbridge, Alberta (and a former Lethbridge Maple Leaf), was the playing-coach of the Ramblers. Vern Kneeshaw was their goalie, with Fred Holger doubling as spare ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
