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
wont 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.
