the deal was the acquisition of - $t. Catharines Teepees as the Junior A farm club of Hawks.

Out of that transaction has emerged four current Chicago stars—centre Bobby Hull, right winger John McKenzie and de- fenceman Elmer Vasko . and Pierre Pilote—and Chicago coach Rudy Pilous.

The four players toiled for Tee- pees in the Ontario Hockey As- socjation during their junior days. Pilous, credited with mak- ing St. Catharines one of the hot- test hockey towns in the coun- try, stepped up from his coach- ing job with Teepees to take over the same position with Chicago midway through last season. STILL BIG BOSS

Pilous, however, still holds the job as general manager of Tee- pees and makes the major deci- sions regarding playing personnel for that team.

Hawks apparently have plucked only a few plums from an ever-growing tree that is the St. Catharines hockey team.

One of the hottest NHL pros- pects in the country is Stan Mikita. 18-year-old centre with St. Catharines. Hawks own Mik- ita’s professional contract.

St. Catharines clinched _ first place in the OHA Junior A stand- ings’a couple of ‘weeks ago. —

Pilous and. Ivan rate Mikita a surefire major - leaguer. During a three-game trial with Hawks earlier this season he impressed the experts. FINE RECORD ,

Up to the time of his injury, Mikita had. played 45 games in the OHA, scoring 38 goals and assisting on another 59 for .a league - leading 97 points.

“I think Mikita’ and perhaps one or two other Teepees will figure prominently: in Hawks’ plans in the near future,”” says Pilous. “Mikita thinks better than a lot of players in the NHL right now.”

During the last month Mikita was with St. Catharines he played with a fractured bone in his right wrist, encased in a cast from the hand to the elbow. Dur- ing that time he scored 16 goals and had ® assists.

If and when Mikita becomes a Black Hawk, he'll set a prece- dent by becoming the first Czechoslovakian to play in the NHL. Hawks once boasted the only Russian-born player in the majors when Johnny Gottselig was with them a few years ago.
