Kelfer finally is getting his
chance after his rights were
traded from Minnesota to the
Islanders.
"We had 25 minor league
forwards signed to contracts,"
said a North Stars official.
"There is such a thing as
being in the wrong place at
the wrong time. The question
always has been about his
skating — but they said the
same thing about Pitts-
burgh's Ron Brown, and now
he's a 50-goal scorer."
Bruce Landon, general
manager for the Islanders'
AHL affiliate in Springfield,
Mass., said first-year-
professional Kelfer was eased
into the line-up. But after 11
games, Kelfer had five goals
and four assists, including a
couple of power-play goals.
"We're using him at left
wing and center," Landon
said. "He's not especially big,
but he's well-built and sticks
his nose in there. He gets
some points and creates
things.
"No, he's not a fluid skater.
But he can dart in, get the
puck and get out. So far he's
getting the job done — at this
level. Can he do it in the
NHL? It's too early to tell, but
we're very pleased with him
so far."
Veteran Steve Richmond,
from the University of
Michigan and Chicago, has
retired after seeing NHL ser-
vice with the Red Wings,
Islanders and Kings. CI

Detroit Varsity
Takes 5th Place
Milwaukee, Wisc. — The
Detroit Jewish Community
Center Varsity basketball
team walloped Cincinnati,
81-53, Feb. 18 to take fifth
place in the 10-team JCC
Midwest Boys Basketball
Tournament with an 11-4
record.
All 14 Detroit players
scored in the final game, with
Brian Silverman's 15 points
leading the way. Eric Leib
tallied 13 and Matt Frankel
and Joe Hurshe had 10 each.
Dayton, Ohio, defeated St.
Louis for the tourney cham-
pionship. Other teams com-
peting were the host city;
Toledo, Columbus and Can-
ton, Ohio; Indianapolis and
Pittsburgh.
Leib, voted the team's most
valuable player for the
tourney, also was named to
the all-tournament team.
Hushe was Detroit's tourney
scoring leader.
Turney highlights for
Detroit included a close, 61-55
loss to eventual runner-up St.
Louis in the quarterfinals
Feb. 17. The Detroiters led at
the half by three points but
couldn't hang on, despite
Hurshe's three 3-pointers and
16 second-half points. Hurshe
finished with a game-high 26
points, followed by Leib with
0.
The next morning, Toledo
defeated the Michiganders,
71-51, with Leib scoring 10
points, Hurshe 9. That set up
the battle for fifth place
against Cincinnati that
evening.
