LONDON! (CF)-Nine years ago

Winnipeg youngster and wrote him off as a,"puny wee thing, too small for a man's game."

Today five-foot. tour-inch Victor C. (Chick) Zamick is the "Biggest thin " in British hockey and one of ie most.proflific scorers the winter game has ever known.

Nottingham Panthers at the start of the 1947-48 season. the 29-year. old product of Winnipeg junior ranks has poured 650 goals into opposing nets and assisted on an- other 525 for a 1.175-point total.

Chick's 650-goal total exceeds hy more than 100 the NHL all-time goal record held by Montreal Czina. diens' great Maurice illnckeil Richard. When, early this season. Richard notched his 500th goal in 11 years of NHL play. Zamick al- ready was well past the 600-mark. BREAD AND BUTTER Zamick. son of Winnipeg masseiir John Zamick and one of a family of is, learned his hockey in the pan ii and tumble of the Manitoba cap tsl's open-air rinks.

Right from the start, hockey was

a "bread-and-butter game" with Chick. It had to he for ”rlad was having a rough time" clothing and feeding Chick. his 10 brothers and four sisters. He played in the fast Manitoba Junior League with Canadian Uk- rainian Athletic Club and St. Bona- face, Man. Athletics before moving east to play with the junior St. Catharines. 0nt., Teepees. Chick's uncanny ability to get the puck Into the net brought NHL scouts on the run. But one look at his 130-pound frame and they left just as quickly.

"After one scout called me a 'puny wee thing,' i decided to try my luck in England.

"My old coach Joe Matheson of Winnipeg gave me lots of encour- agement and recommended me to Nottingham. I borrowed a suit from my brother and left in the fall of 1947.

"it was the best gamble I ever made."

Today Zamick is one of the most popular Canadians in Britain. At Nottingham. legendary home kaf Robin Hood 123 miles northwest of London. he has twice been voted "sportsman of the year.” beating out soccer greats like Tommy Law- ton.

A great forechecker. Zamick is adept at stealing the puck inside the opponents' blue line. He shoots off either foot and gets his shots away fast.

In his first eight seasons in Brit- ain, Zamick won the scoring title four timesgand tied for the lead a fifth-year. Only once has he wound up lower than second-in 1351-52 when he broke his left arm mid-way through the season. He was leading the pack by a 14- point margin at the time.

His big season was 1954-55 when he averaged more than three points a game in the 62-game schedule with 94 goals and 74 assists for I record I69 points.

Zamick, who believes hockey is once again on the upgrade in Brit- ain, is a firm supporter of hurt)- pean - style hockey which empha- sizes stick-handling and team work rather than the stunning body-con- tact of the Canadian games.
