Excerpts from Pro Hockey, WHA 1975-76 (by Dan Proudfoot) Young hockey professionals feel strangely about older men who play their position. One old veteran can be a big help. Two old greybeards can take the pressure off a kid and let him come along slowly. But John Stewart faces the extremely difficult circumstances of having three experienced, if not aged, men ahead of him at center ice. In 1974-75 Stewart found that being the fourth Crusader pivot meant being odd man out. "But he's only 21," says Crusader manager Jack Vivian, "he has plenty of time. He has the fundamentals, he only needs to mature and fill out. "I had him as a player when I coached at Bowling Green — he came to us from the Markham, Ont., junior team — so I know what he has to offer. That's why we signed him."
