Bangsar, at one time Kuala Lumpur's beer-and java-fueled social epicenter, is not quite the buzzing burb it used to be. Blame that on two upstart areas-Changkat Bukit Bintang and Jalan Doraisamy (a.k.a.

...Terrier defensive corps is balanced and big. Smooth junior Jerry August and soph T.J. Connolly (2-9-11) make up the top blueline duo. The "Brook-line," manned by George Klapes and 6-ft., 3-in., 196-lb. Bruce Milton (3-15-18), both natives of that Boston 'burb, forms the second pairing. The defensemen specialize in setting up B.U.'s deliberate offense and getting the puck to the forwards. "I think we move the puck out of our own zone as well as anyone," says Parker...
