one game, held jointly by Michi-
gan and Minnesota.
Masterton, although sidelined
for a time in the second period
with a head injury, banged in
three goals.

tournament record for the title
game.
Minnesota's Mik Larson was
named the all-star goalie.
Masterton was designated the
most valuable player.

ing the winning goal at 15:33 of
