PREMIER LEAGUE HOCKEY NEWS OF THE WEEK

Transactions this week
The trade deadline is less than a month away and the clubs of the Premier League are feeling it. Colorado got Dan Gardener (RD, 30) and sent the Sharks Steve Parker (LW, 27), and the Mustangs sent Jason McIlleriach (LW, 29) to Ottawa for Mark Shaw (LD, 27). But these were all minor league trades. The big news was in two other deals. The Nationals, perhaps flush from their trade with the Mustangs, sent Andreas Henriksn, Daniel Johnson and Bryce Lott to Vancouver, getting Bob Haugen - a still-injured Bob Haugen at that. Haugen, a star in the twilight of his carer, would want to lead the Nationals to the Cameron Phillips Trophy to be worth the same as Andreas Henriksen, a rising star left winger. In the other major league trade, Chicago sent Tony Wacker (RW, 33) and Joe Miles (RW, 19) to Montreal while the Champions sent Jan Beck (RW, 29) and Vojtech Baron (G, 33) to the Cougars. Baron is 6-8-4 from 19 this year and will step into the void left by Henrik Jensen's recurring back injuries.

League goal leader out with injury
The Calgary Mustang's star left winger Filip Petersson (32-27 from 55 this year) will miss three weeks with triceps tendinitis. The left winger said, "I hate not being able to be out there helping my team. I'm paid to play hockey, not rest and rehab. It's extremely frustrating."

San Francisco finds a new home
After much debate and back room deals, the Arrows have a new home. A group of investors out of Portland, Oregon have purchased the team and the franchise will relocate to Portland for the 1986/87 season. Kapla will retain a 44% stake in the team as part of Northwestern Hockey Ltd. A moniker for the team has not yet been chosen but Portland Bears and Portland Shadows are both believed to be favourites. The Arrows will retain a presence in San Francisco, however, with the team's minor league affiliate to be rebranded with the Arrows current logo, name and uniforms.

Center Ice Game of the Week
New England Whalers 5 - 1 Calgary Mustangs
Federation Arena, Calgary

The Mustangs and the Sharks have been left to duke it out to see who gets left out of the ridiculous new playoff format that will see all but two teams - one Mountain, one Atlantic - reach the postseason. This format may make sense when the league expands but at the moment it makes the regular season look decidedly anti-climactic with division titles being all there really is to play for. The Whalers, meanwhile, appear to be the team most likely to dethrone the Aces from the top of the Atlantic East and as such are very focussed on their pennant race to ensure they get something to put in the rafters this year.

The Whalers closed in on the Aces tonight when Dewitt Sykes, registering his seventh win from 11 starts with the Whalers this season (prior to being traded he won just one of 11 with the Nationals), held the Mustangs to 1 goal and gave his teammates the confidence to go n the attack - which they did. While David Bodie of the Mustangs scored the first goal of the game - on a powerplay handed to Radek Kovalovsky for unsportsman like conduct - the Mustangs never looked close again. Terry Lowe scored a brace and an assists, Tyler Wheeler got two helpers and Benjamin Suffa went 1 and 1 to put the Whalers up 5-1 at the end of the game. The Mustangs look lost without Filip Petersson, their leading scorer, and were never able to penetrate the Whalers defence after that first goal. The Mustangs may decide now to close up shop for the season and concentrate on getting the right mix for next year.

Next week we're back on Saturday night when the St. Paul Cardinals visit the New York Centrals.
