Info Request: time on ice from The Globe and Mail

[nik jr]

earlier this year, reckoning mentioned that during the '50s, The Globe and Mail sometimes printed time on ice numbers.

The Globe & Mail used to print icetimes during the 1950s for Leaf games (I believe it was Conn Smythe's idea to have someone tracking every players TOI). I decided to pull up a game at random:

Detroit at Toronto Jan. 26/57:

Detroit:

Pronovost 35:38
Godfrey 28:56
Kelly 28:36
Strate 13:07
Anderson 2:18

Howe 26:47
Lindsay 26:38
Ullman 25:52
Delvecchio 19:53
McNeil 15:00
Dea 13:55
Reibel 13:21
Dineen 12:53
Ferguson 10:33
Prystai 9:06
Bucyk 8:50

Toronto:

Morrison 32:10
Thomson 30:38
Reaume 24:42
MacNeil 22:00
Horton 13:49

Stewart 24:21
Armstrong 20:07
Pulford 20:06
Kennedy 17:06
Duff 16:38
James 15:56
Smith 14:47
Migay 13:22
Nykoluk 10:45
Cullen 6:46

Just one random game, but it shows that the top guys were logging more time then than now.

i tried to find more numbers on their website, but i was unsuccessful. the site says information back to 11-17-77 is available online via subscription.
it also says electronic versions of their papers back to 1844 are available at major public libraries and universities.

can anyone find more of these numbers?

If you have a library card, you should be able to access it via your local libraries website. The trouble is that it's very often difficult to read the small type for a lot of those summaries.

It really is.

You can hurt your eyes. I recommend not doing it for too long at a time.
