Can you tell me approx what the pay was for a player in 1970 in the EHL? Thx!
In 1969 the average salary was $3,500 a year and all the pucks you could eat free.
Roger,
Are you the Long Island Ducks goalie?
Old Clinton Comets fan here.
Looking for anything on my brother Gerry Norman who played in the East Coast Hockey league in 1955-56
To Bob Pritchard – Did you play for Clinton High. In the 1960s?
