Hamilton takes 17 year old goalie
Charlie Gardiner 1st overall in the 1922 NHL draft. He will be a very good goalie someday, but just not today. He’s very raw. There weren’t a lot of big names in this years draft.
On the eve of training camp,
Montreal and
Hamilton strike a deal involving two strong players…
Carson Cooper, only 23, is a 3.0/3.0 RW who recorded 24 points in 24 games last year for the
Tigers. He’s got really good offensive skills and plays right around the crease. Selected 9th overall by
Ottawa in 1918, they released him two months later. That was a mistake.
Buck Boucher is a 3.0/3.0 defenceman, who Hamilton really needs. They are weak back there.
Boucher has 38 points over the last 2 years, and is a plus 34.
Boucher becomes
Hamilton’s #1 defenceman.
