Brain damage after Leveille’s diagnosed collapse United Press International VANCOUVER, British Col umbia — Doctors say Boston Bruins left-winger Normand Leveille suffered brain damage due to a cerebral hemorrhage sustained in a weekend NHL contest, but are not yet sure how extensive it is. The 19-year-old Montreal native’s parents have kept a bed side vigil at the Vancouver Gen eral Hospital, where their son underwent six hours of surgery Saturday to relieve pressure on his brain and stop bleeding. Bruins spokesman Nate Greenberg said Tuesday that Dr. Barrie Woodhurst, who per formed the surgery, advised Leveille’s parents against trans ferring their son to a hospital in Montreal. “There’s been no change in his condition. We were told there was no deterioration or improvement in bis condition,” Greenberg said after meeting with Woodhurst, Leveille’s pa rents and other team officials. “He’s still unconscious and Jacques and Therese Leveille have been at the hospital almost constantly since they arrived from Montreal Sunday after- still in poor berg said. condition,” Green- Greenberg said Woodhurst told the parents their son would have to remain in the intensive care unit at Vancouver General Hospital indefinitely. Leveille has been unconscious since he was rushed to the hos pital after he collapsed during the first-period intermission in a game against the Vancouver Canucks.

The Bruins meet the Maple Leafs tonight. ¥ On Monday, Bruins general manager Harry Sinden said W oodhurst had discounted the possibility that Leveille’s condi tion was caused by a heavy check be took from Vancouver for ward Marc Crawford in the first period of the hockey game. “It has nothing to do with any blow,” Sinden said. “It’s a mal function of the arteries and veins and is called an arterior- veinus malformation.” United Press International Former Montreal coach Scot ty Bowman said he didn't recog nize many of the Montreal Canadiens Tuesday night. Pre sent coach Bob Berry had the same problem. “When the game started at 8, we weren’t even prepared,” Ber ry said after his team could only manage a 7-7 tie with the Buffa lo Sabres. Montreal is undefe ated in seven straight games, but that is little consolation to Berry. “We suffered a total break down in the third period,” he said. “We’ve been playing well lately, but we’re still giving up too many late goals.” Ric Seiling and Gilles Hamel scored in the third period to lift the Sabres to a tie. Trailing 7-. r ) on a pair of second-period goals by Montreal’s Ryan Walter, Seil ing took a pass from Andre Savard and beat Canadiens’ goalie Richard Sevigny. Hamel notched his first of the season at 16:30 during a goalmouth scramble. Get Your Xerox Copies at Northgate Above Farmer’s Market Need to make We can help!
