Terry Reardon Takes the Ice

Christmas Night (1959) Nutcracker “Sweet”: Terry Reardon, the Reds fiery GM, is shown on the ice in his “civvies.” Terry argued and won the battle to allow a Reds’ last-second goal against Springfield, at first nullified by referee Lou Farelli (# 4). Our dynamic leader pointed out that red light, signifying a goal, had preceded the green light that indicates time out or the end of a period. Terry came out a winner but was fined $100 by the AHL for his appearance on the ice, “out of uniform.” Truly a Nutcracker “Sweet.”
