In the middle of last season, Hull traded goaltender Michel Charbonneau to Shawinigan Dynamos in exchange for a first round draft choice.

Charbonneau never did report to Shawinigan and, yesterday, Dynamos contended that the deal was annul ed. "We've been assured by the league executive that Sha-w i 1 a must honor their commitment," said Grant Dynamos selected Serge Bon-ami as the first round, so the league will have to decide if Bonami, a centre, goes to Hull or Shawinigan. Overall, Festivals drafted six minor midgets and 23 overage midgets. Gingras was their first pick (fifth overall) in the minor midget draft Their next selection, in the second 'round, and 14th overall, was Doug Ross who played with St. Lambert Junior B's In the Ri-chelleu Valley Hockey League.

Hull's third pick was Doug Sulliman, from Glace Bay, N.S. and he was 21st overall. Their final three picks, in order, were Richard Vezina, from Boucherville, Michel Charron and Michel Lusig- nan. Those last two players Sbrel picks QUEBEC (Special) -There were 223 players drafted by the Quebec Major Junior Hopkey League's 10 teams Thur.day. The deliberations stretched on for an agonizing three hours, but if anyone dozed off during the boring procedure, he was quickly revived when Sorel Black Hawk general manager Rodrigue Lemoyne stepped to -the microphone in the 10th round.

"Sorel Black Hawks select Pierre Larouche from Pittsburgh Penguins," intoned Le-moyne, with a straight face. If Lemoyne wasn't laugh-ing, though, everyone else in the room was. Larouche, who broke the QMJHL scoring record two seasons ago, just completed a brilliant rookie season with' the National Hockey League Penguins.
