MacPherson has seen a bit of the Maritimes since he left the Islanders' camp. He went. down to Glace Bay and wcrked out with the Miners but did not secure a position with the Don Pcnniston- coached Glace Bay outfit.

The Islanders apparently play their best games on the road. In Halifax last week they whipped the Atlantics 5-3 and in Glace Bay on Wednesday night they were eked out by a 4-3 score after an impressive performance. Maybe the boys played themselves out in Glace Bay but they certainly weren't. up to par last. night against the Atlantics. We would say it was their worst. perform- ance of the year.
