Even hockey players are breaking out of the brushcut mold. Upon joining the Boston Bruins three seasons ago, Derek ("Turk") Sanderson announced: "The square hockey world could use a change, and I'm the guy to change it." He grew a mustache, let his hair grow into a shaggy mop, spent $9,000 on a far-out wardrobe, and began mouthing off. N.H.L. President Clarence Campbell, he said, was a "stuffed shirt" for not letting him wear white skates. Famed old Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings was "the dirtiest player in the league." Named Rookie...
Thomas's value to the team goes beyond just being a scoring threat. He, like Derck Sanderson of the Bruins, is a policeman on the field. "Patience is a virtue in soccer, but I find myself running out of it very quickly-especially when somebody starts to foul me. They can't beat me legally so they start to play dirty.

Bowman should know. In the fourth game of the finals last week, Bowman's Blues went into a sudden death overtime with the Bruins. With just 40 sec. gone, Boston's Orr raked a loose puck off the St. Louis boards, passed to Teammate Derek Sanderson in the corner, broke for the goal, took a return pass, tripped acrobatically and slammed the puck into the net. The score gave the Bruins a four-game sweep of the Blues and their first Stanley Cup victory in 29 years...

At 22, Orr is just one of a phalanx of young skaters with their best playing years still ahead of them. The flamboyant, mop-topped Sanderson, for example, at 23, is already one of the best centers in the league. He spells Phil Esposito, 28, who set two play-off records this year with 13 goals and a total of 27 points. They are backed by such elder skatesmen as John Bucyk, 35, and Johnny McKenzie...
