And a former hocke player and coach by th name of Harry Pidhirn wasn't e x a c t l y glowin with the sweet, smell 0 nostalgia the other day a ,_ he recalled his days of; penitence in The American Hockey League â€" 17 years less two games in the NHL with Boston Bruins. Harry, j u s t recently added to the sales staff of ‘ _ W1lson-IV1blett Motors Ltd. HARRY P'IDHIRNY in Richmond Hill, had a driving ambition to make it in the NHL. But all Wilson-Niblett Motors Ltdâ€"â€" "â€"â€" in Richmond Hill, had a “AR” P‘DHIRNY driving ambition to make it in the NHL. But all he achieved was frustration. “I loved the game. that’s why I stuck around for so long,” he said. “I figured I was good enough, the chance would come. It never came.” Harry played 11 years under the spartan tutel- age of the terrible-tempered Eddie Shore at Spring- field and also coached half the season in 1966-67 before fleeing to warmer climes. He also spent a few seasons with such other AHL clubs as Phila- delphia, San Francisco and Baltimore before packing up the skates for good at the end of 1968. I WAS GOOD ENOUGH “I was good enough to play in the NHL,” he said, “but I got buried in Springfield by Shore. A couple of NHL clubs showed interest in me but Shore owned me body and soul and wanted too many players in return. After awhile they stopped ask- __,a , Harry has respect for Shore's gifts as a teacher of hockey but that’s where his respect ends. He very simply doesn’trlikeMr. Shore. “You had to play his way or not at all. You had to. skate his way, hold a stick the way he wanted you to, do everything Mr. Shore/wanted. At one time he even taped a goalie to the net to make sure he wouldn’t flop on pucks.” r it, was his Spnrhgfield days that snuffed out any hopes Harry might have had” toJ-play in the NHL. ing.” Harry’s days with Springfield were a jail-term of one frustration followed by another. I couldn’t begin to tell you how many players gave up hockey all together just to get away from Springfield. One of these players of course was a goalie by the name of Bruce Gamble. “Gamble was good in those days, too. But he wouldn’t adjust to Shore’s way of thinking and just walked out.” Gamble, of course, eventually came out of retirement to star with The Maple Leafs. He was luckier than Pidhirny. He got away. Pidhirny finally gotraway from Shore to play with such clubs as San Francisco and Baltimore but found himself back with Shore in 1966-67 to coach the club. “Strictly another mistake. I had a wild idea it would be a good opportunity. I should have known better. As a coach with Springfield my main job was to open the gate and let the players in and out. Shore ran the club. I was just a glorified stick- boy-n Pidhirny quit half-way during the season but not before he became embroiled in the much-publi- cized player’s strike that lasted for about a week and also brought Toronto lawyer Al Eagleson into the spotlight as the player’s representative for the first time. He hasn’t been out of the spotlight since. “I went to Shore and told him about the request. He flatly told me that no blankety-blank (the real phrase was slightly more explicit) hockey player was going to tell him what to do.” “The players came to me and requested a meet- ing with Shore. They wanted him to quit interfering with them. Shore was suspending and fining players for no valid reason at all. Just because they wouldn’t do exactly what he wanted. Pidhirny relayed the message to the players who promptly went on strike. A few days later Shore capitulated and the players won their terms. Pidhirny got out shortly after that never to return to Springfield. Despite the severe drawbacks, the disappoint- ments through the years, Pidhirny did experience some high points in his career. He rolled up a total of 800 points in his career which included 300 goals. His best personal year was in 1957-58 when he was third highest scorer in the league with 81 points and made the all-star team. He was also on three Calder Cup champions While in Springfield. “I was also the first player to reach the thous- and game mark,” he said. His most memorable night ironically came in the last season he was to wear a Springfield jersey as a player. “I'd had a good year and the fans gave me a special night including a gift of a new car. It was a good feeling. Shore promptly sold me to San Francisco the next season. Pidhirny closed out his hockey career in Musk- kegon, Michigan in 1968 never having achieved his goal to play in the NHL. He played a couple of games with Boston one season when player injuries were plaguing The Bruins but never received a good opportunity to make it in the big time. “At last I’m happy about one thing,” he mused as he pointed to his teeth. “I’ve got every one of them. They’re all my own. I guess I was lucky that way.” T0 FINISH Oh, by the way. Harry is married, has three children, and lives in Willowdale.
