Seattle Bombers Hockey 1952

The newly renamed Seattle Bombers picked up right where they had left off the year before with another decent performance and a 30-32-8 record. The got by on stingy defense and timely goals. This was good enough for a fifth place finish, and a first round playoff series with Vancouver. The Bombers came up short, losing the series three games to two. Rudy Filion paced the low scoring offense with 28 goals and 46 assists, and in 68 games that season he only received two penalty minutes. Gerry Foley earned Rookie of the Year honors with 29 goals, while fellow rookie Doug Macauley had 23 tallies and a league-leading nine game-winning goals.
