It is updated each month and only information currently under discussion or of continuing importance or interest will be listed for more than two postings. Boston Bruins Bruins right wing Cam Neely, sidelined with a knee injury since the middle of last season, will continue his rehabilitation training and forego any further surgery for the time being. Claimed defenseman Dominic Lavoie off waivers from Ottawa. Buffalo Sabres ** 1-800-333-PUCK (1-800-333-7825) ** Called up right wing Scott Thomas from Rochester of American Hockey League. ** Assigned defenseman Keith Carney to Rochester of American Hockey League ** Assigned right wing Donald Audette to Rochester for 14-day conditioning period. ** Sent defenseman Grant Ledyard to Rochester of American Hockey League for four games. Calgary Flames Chicago Blackhawks Announced resignation of General Manager Mike Keenan and assigned his duties to senior vice president Bob Pulford. Three days after being ousted as general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, Mike Keenan called a news conference to say he was fired, and did not quit. The $175 million, privately financed United Center, scheduled to open in August 1994, will be home to the NBA's Chicago Bulls and NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. The stadium is owned by entities controlled by the two teams. The owners apparently still have not made a decision on whether the old Chicago Stadium will be razed for parking space once the new facility, located directly across the street, opens. Detroit Red Wings ** Bob Probert, the Detroit Red Wings forward who has served prison time for a drug conviction, received clearance to play hockey outside the United States. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service had barred Probert, a Canadian citizen, from leaving the United States since he pleaded guilty to importing cocaine in 1989. Had he left the country he would not have been allowed to return. Edmonton Oilers ** The Edmonton Oilers have agreed to trade free agent defenseman Kevin Lowe to the New York Rangers, assuming the Rangers can come to terms with Lowe on a contract. Oilers general manager Glen Sather, who announced the deal Saturday, December 5, refused to say what compensation the Rangers would give Edmonton until a deal is worked out between New York and Lowe. ** Sent defenseman Kevin Lowe to New York Rangers for a third-round 1993 draft choice and forward Roman Oksyuta. Hartford Whalers Acquired right wing Jamie Leach off waivers from Pittsburgh. Traded center John Cullen to Toronto for 1993 or 1994 second-round draft pick. Los Angeles Kings November 23 - Right wing Tomas Sandstrom will be sidelined four to six weeks with a broken left forearm. He was slashed by Toronto's Doug Gilmour in the second period Saturday night, November 21. Los Angeles Kings superstar center Wayne Gretzky, recovering from a herniated disc, revealed Thursday night, November 19, he hopes to be back on skates by March. Gretzky, the NHL's all-time leading scorer, has not skated since early training camp, when he checked into a Los Angeles-area hospital after suffering pain in his back. After undergoing extensive testing, Gretzky announced at a news conference just prior to the start of the season that he he had suffered a career-threatening herniated thoracic disc. Although he said he hoped to be back on skates by March, Gretzky gave no indication he would be able to return playing this season. Minnesota North Stars ** 1-800-800-0435 if calling from the U.S. 1-800-800-0458 if calling from Canada The North Stars released center Dan Quinn after learning he will not be charged with raping a 19-year-old woman. Bob Gainey, the coach and general manager, said Quinn violated team rules and he is free to join another club. A Twin Cities woman accused Quinn of repeatedly assaulting her in a Bloomington motel room Nov. 10. Quinn said the sex was consensual. The county attorney's office said it did not have a strong enough case to prosecute. Many women employees of the Minnesota North Stars say club owner Norman Green has created a climate of sexual harassment. The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Sunday that Green has a penchant for kissing female employees on the cheek and commenting on their clothes and makeup. Green denies any sexual overtones, saying it's his way of bringing a ``family atmosphere'' to the team. The 58-year-old Canadian businessman has vowed to change his conduct. Montreal Canadiens New Jersey Devils ** Called up center Jarrod Skalde and wings Bill Guerin and Scott Pellerin from Utica of American Hockey League. ** Sent center Jarrod Skalde to Cincinnati of International Hockey League. New York Islanders ** Recalled forwards Travis Green, Marty McInnis and Graeme Townshend from Capital District of the American Hockey League. ** Recalled goaltender Danny Lorenz from Capital District of the American Hockey League. New York Rangers Sent right wing Alexei Kovalev to Binghamton of American Hockey League. ** Acquired defenseman Kevin Lowe from Edmonton for a third-round 1993 draft choice and forward Roman Oksyuta. ** National Hockey League President Gil Stein announced Thursday, December 3, he will review a report on a fight between Bob Probert of the Detroit Red Wings and Tie Domi of the New York Rangers during Wednesday night's game. Domi said last month that he was looking forward to Wednesday night's game against Detroit because he was anticipating fighting Probert again. Probert, considered the top fighter in the league, and Domi, also a brawler, fought during a game last season. Probert and Domi began trading punches just 37 seconds into the game and went at it for nearly a minute, with Probert landing most of the punches. Both players were given five-minute penalties for fighting. The Rangers won the game, 5-3. Stein had warned Domi after his remarks about fighting Probert appeared in the media. ** Recalled forwards Alexei Kovalev and Steven King, defenseman Sergei Zubov and goaltender Corey Hirsch from Binghmaton of American Hockey League. Ottawa Senators The Ottawa Senators have approached retired Islanders superstar Mike Bossy to act as their club scoring consultant. The Ottawa Senators received the go-ahead to build the 18,500-seat Palladium on the proposed location in nearby Kanata, Ont. The projected cost is C$150 million. Construction will be postponed until the 1995-96 season, one year behind schedule. Philadelphia Flyers ** Recalled center Viaacheslav Butsayev from Hershey of American Hockey League. ** Acquired left wing Dan Vincelette from Tampa Bay for center Steve Kasper. ** Signed right wing Kevin Dineen to multi-year contract. ** Toronto police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Philadelphia Flyers center Eric Lindros after a woman claimed she was assaulted by him in a bar. A 24-year-old woman said Lindros spit beer on her and elbowed her on the dance floor of the Kookoo Bananas nightclub in Whitby, Ontario, outside Toronto. Police said Lindros was with three other men who are also being investigated. ** Eric Lindros turned himself in to police in Pickering, Ontario, Saturday, December 5, and was booked on a charge of ``common assault'' stemming from a bar incident the previous week. ``It's a really minor offense -- the lowest on the totem role,'' said Staff Sgt. Robert Peacock of the Durham Region police, where the 19- year-old Lindros was booked and released without bail. Peacock said that Lindros was finger-printed, photographed and given a Dec. 14 court date. Spectrum II will open in Philadelphia in 1994. Spectrum II will have 109 luxury boxes. Pittsburgh Penguins The Pittsburgh Penguins have secured a release from the Skoda Plzen Hockey Club of the Czechoslovakian Senior League for center Martin Straka, their first-round choice in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft. Straka, 20, played during the exhibition season for the Penguins, but he was unable to play during the regular campaign until his release was obtained. Quebec Nordiques ** 1-800-463-3333 Quebec have increased season ticket prices by about 15% with a promised refund if the team misses the playoffs. St. Louis Blues San Jose Sharks Tampa Bay Lightning ** 1-800-881-2639 ** Sent left wing Dan Vincelette to Philadelphia for center Steve Kasper. ** Recalled goaltender Jean-Claude Bergeron from Atlanta of International Hockey League. ** An assault charge against Phil Esposito, the Tampa Bay Lightning's general manager and president, was dropped in Toronto. Toronto Star hockey writer Bob McKenzie told the court he was satisfied with an apology he received last week from Esposito. McKenzie had said Esposito attacked him after an Oct. 15 game. At least two investor groups are poised to build a sports arena in downtown Tampa if the delay-plagued company that holds a lease from the Tampa Bay Lightning bows out. Tampa Coliseum Inc. has a lease with the National Hockey League team to develop an entertainment and sports arena next to Tampa Stadium, but has been unable to raise enough money for the project. TCI has until Dec. 7 to get its arena money together or pay a $500,000 penalty payment to the Lightning. If TCI doesn't make the payment, the Lightning would be free to talk to other arena developers. Toronto Maple Leafs Acquired center John Cullen from Hartford for 1993 or 1994 second-round draft pick. Vancouver Canucks Received center Anatoli Semenov from Tampa Bay for forward Dave Capuano and a 1994 fourth-round draft choice. Vancouver taxpayers will be assisting on the goal of a new hockey arena for the Vancouver Canucks. It will cost about 40-thousand dollars for city hall to ``fast track'' the project. The new facility, to be built near the B.C. Place Stadium, will be ready for the opening game of the 1995-96 season. Washington Capitals Stefan Ustorf, an 18-year-old wing, may join the Washington Capitals next spring after the German season. Winnipeg Jets The Winnipeg Jets have won their arbitration case against center Alexei Zhamnov, as NHL president Gil Stein ruled that the Russian rookie had signed a valid contract. Winnipeg Jets have been allowed economic assistance in order to keep them in the Smythe division as a result of expansion. ----- - League news: ** Gary Bettman, vice president and general counsel of the National Basketball Association, was named commissioner of the National Hockey League, Friday, December 11, 1992. ``The NHL has a great future and I want to be part of building the league into the future,'' Bettman said. ``My first priority is a collective bargaining agreement and then television exposure.'' Bettman joined the NBA in 1981 as assistant general counsel. He became the league's chief legal officer in September of 1984. A New York resident, Bettman graduated from Cornell University in 1974 and from New York University School of Law in 1977. ** Owners Friday, December 11, 1992, deferred making a decision on suspending play next season to allow NHL players to compete in the 1994 Winter Olympics. They will hold a special meeting in January to decide the issue. ** The owners announced the 1994 draft will be in Hartford and the 1995 draft in Winnipeg. The 1994 draft was scheduled for Boston, but a delay in the construction of a new arena required the draft be moved.
