Jonathan isa real ‘Bull Terrier’ TORONTO (CP) — Stan Jonathan's coach says he reminds him of his dog Blue. “T couldn't think of a greater compliment,” said Don Cherry as his Boston Bruins visited Toronto for a National Hockey League engagement with the Mapie Leafs. “Blue is a bull terrier. Toughest dog going, Can take on dogs three times their size and beat them. That’s Stan Jonathan. Ut- terly fearless and will take on anybody.” Cherry thought for a moment and added; “Stan Jonathan is the definitive Boston Bruin.” Only a handful of NHL ~ players are smaller than the 5-8, 175-pound left winger from the Six Nations reserve near Brantford, Ont., who passed up a lucrative career as a high-steel worker to try his luck in professional hockey. It seemed an unpromising choice, Toronto Maple Leaf coach Roger Neilson, who handled Jonathan as a junior at Peterborough, doubted that he was big enough to reach the top.

He scored 17 goals in his rookie season and showed up statistically as the most accurate shot in the NHL among players with 15 goals or more, Cherry even had to curb his offensive instincts at one point. “‘All of a sudden he got 16 points in 16 games and forgot what got him there,” the coach says. “From a_ bull cheerleader five pro hockey and soccer teams. “[ was up in the stands al San Jose State with a friend of mine, and San Jose had a record like 1-9 that year," he said. ‘There were 27,000 stu- dents in the school and only about 3,000 at the game, and none of them was cheering. “So this friend and i started doing some easy cheers, we were sort of drunk, and pretty scon some other people joined us.
