Papers Signed
The final formalities were observed and San Francisco would have a Western Hockey League team in the fall. Team president Coley Hall said he had hired an architect to design the ice sheet making system for the Cow Palace. He also said he had working agreements with the NHL Bruins and Maple Leafs for the possible purchase of contracts of up to a dozen players. Play would begin in the Cow Palace on November 12, slightly more than a month after the October 11 start of the regular season. Estimates of the total operating cost for the first season, including the work at the Cow Palace, ran to about $500,000.
