Galbraith: Hockey With a French Accent

By DIANA ROMANCHUK
French isn't usually a require-
rnent fore playing hockey but in
the case of Michigan junior Doug
Galbraith it was a necessity.
In fifth grade, Galbraith, who
grew up just south of Montreal,
decided he wanted to play organ-
ized hockey. "The English school
system didn't have any team -
even interested in athletics," he
recalls, "So, I played. I spoke
better French than I did En-
Three years in the States have
wiped out most of his accent ex-
cept an occasional 'bloody' and
a long-a 'again', but not h i s
Canadian-nutured playing ability.
Beginning at St. Johns ("If my
dad hadn't dragged me to the
first practice, I probably wouldn't
have continued playing), he grew
up. through Bantams ("where I
received the MVP trophy from
'Rocket' Richard' ") until a change
of scenery took him to Montreal
and four years of Junior teams ("I
was shocked when I finished third
In scoring my first year.").
The quiet-spoken blond never
had any real thoughts about col-

asked him what he wanted to do
and off the top of his head he
replied, "Maybe I'll go to Michi-
gan and play hockey." (He'd heard
they had a good school and team.)
Then, a coach at St. Lawrence
in Canton, New York first sug-
gested the idea of a scholarship
and several applications later
Doug's spur-of-the-moment ans-
wer became reality, luckily for
Michigan hockey. The shy forward
currently leads the Wolverines
with 16 goals and 14 assists, one
point ahead of co-captain Bruce
Koviak.
Presently dissatisfied with his
physical education major Gal-
braith plans to take "a lot" of
business courses next year. "Can-
ada isn't college-orientated," he
explained, "so I had no good idea
of what I wanted to take and more
or less got stuck in Phys Ed. I
still don't knowkwhat I want to
be when I get out, though.
He would, of course, like to play
hockey, maybe even coach, "in
some rich prep school back East."
But one thing he is sure of -
"I'm not going back to Quebec.
I've gone back home and the 'kids

are doing the same things they
were when I left. They're satisfied
where they are."
"Me, I'm glad I came to Mich-
igan. I've had the chance to go
West, see Denver, Minneapolis,
and St. Louis."
The traveling comes as one
bonus of being a member of the
Michigan hockey team. "I've al-
ways played center," Galbraith
remembers, "but when I got here
Renfrew moved me to left wing."
Besides the position change, he
had to adjust to the collegiate
rules which allow passing over two
lines and does not allow offensive
checking.
Airing his opinions on the sub-
ject of college versus pro rules,
Galbraith explained, "The basics
of hockey - skating, shooting,
and passing - are not changed.
In fact, here you have more
chance to do that. There are more
breakaways because of no cen-
ter line.
"I didn't have any trouble ad-
justing, but if I ever play pro
hockey, I'll have to revert back
to the old ways. Only I don't think
the college rules can stand up
much longer. The change has got-
to come in four or five years."

He did, however, have one criti-
cism of the WCHA - the schedul-
ing: "There is too big a difference
in the number of games each
team plays.
"If a Michigan player wants to
go for the league scoring champ-
ionship, it is almost impossible,
because some teams play four or
five more games than we do.
Though Canadian, Galbraith
maintains that, "Canadian kids
aren't as eager to skate anymore.
When I was a kid, I skated when
it was 15 below. My mother made
a rule that I had to quit at 7
o'clock to do my homework. To-
day, my brothers, for example,
only skate twice a week and in-
doors, besides."
He foresees the day when the
Michigan icers will travel toI
California to face UCLA, although
it will be too late for this French-
speaking English Canadian to go
along.

NEW YORK - Dick Duff and
Caude Provost each flipped in
two goals last night as the red-
hot Montreal Canadiens smashed
the New York Rangers 7-2 for
0 their seventh straight National
Hockey League victory.
The Canadiens shot to a 2-1
first period lead, pulled away on
Duff's 21st and 22nd goals and
breezed to their 19th victory in
the last 20 games. The loss
M snapped an eight-game unbeaten
string for the Rangers.
John Ferguson, ,Provost and
Rousseau scored for Montreal in
the third period in which Reg
Fleming connected for the Rang-

ers' other goal -before a sellout

Blues Blast Leafs
TORONTO - Rookie Gary Sa-
bourin and veteran Jerry Melnyk
fired two goals each as the expan-
sionist St. Louis Blues rapped sag-
ging Toronto 5-1 in a National
Hockey League game last night.
It was the seventh straight loss
for the slumping Maple Leafs. The
defending Stanley Cup champions
are winless in the last nine games
and have won only once in the
last 12.
The Blues hopped into an early
2-0 lead on first period goals by
Sabourin and defenseman Mar-

clay Plager. Melnyk assisted on
Plager's goal.
Goalie Glenn Hall lost his shut-
out with about 3/z minutes left
in the game when Murray Oliver
scored Toronto's lone goal.
But the Blues got that right
back when Melnyk scored his sec-
ond goal of the night and 11th
of the season one minute later.
