1948/49

In Scotland the National press have okayed the game and give it good coverage. In England the provincial papers in Brighton, Nottingham and Durham are liberal with their news and reports. In London some say that proportionate to the number of people who go to see hockey the coverage is a fair percentage of the whole. And yet, ice hockey won’t grow to man size until such fine writers as Peter Wilson, Alan Hoby, Maurice Smith and many others go behind the scenes and come out with a wealth of material that lies there untapped. Perhaps it will come one day soon. (Robert Giddens). (Still waiting). In the Autumn Cup Chick Zamick was the top point scorer with 40 points as Panthers finished 6th out of 8. In the International Tournament Zamick finished top point scorer with 41, as Panthers finished runners up to Wembley Monarchs. During the tournament Zamick scored hat-tricks on ten occasions, four more than his closest rival Bud McEachern of Streatham. English National League. Nottingham Panthers who finished fourth were again a crowd pleasing, rink packing team with their open hockey and colourful Chick Zamick. Injuries haunted the club. Wally Black the fast left wing had a festered foot which saw him in hospital and Ken Westman cut a wrist in a dressing room accident. The wound healed quickly but left him handicapped. At the seasons end Zamick once again ended top of the point scorers chart with 134, followed by Bobby Lee (Brighton Tigers) on a distant 109 and Bill Glennie (Harringay Racers) on 99.
