1962–63 North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's ice hockey season, Season
The home team had won all five games between the two schools that season but now a neutral venue would decide which team was ultimately the best. North Dakota came out swinging, scoring the first goal less than two minutes into the contest and added two more before eight minutes had elapsed. Denver would score two goals in quick succession to cut the lead to 1 but within the span of 54 seconds UND added two for to regain a 3-goal lead.

UND had outshot Denver 15–7 in the first and they continued to keep the pressure on Rudy Unis into the second, firing another 15 shots at the DU netminder. Al McLean scored just after the 5-minute mark to put his team up 6–2 but Denver started to slowly claw back with two goals to cut the lead in half before the end of the period. In the third North Dakota's offense pulled back slightly but in closing their ranks they were able to limit Denver to only 2 shots on goal. Even so, Denver's Bob Hamill was able to get his third goal of the night with more than six minutes remaining but that was all Denver could muster in the final frame and UND skated away with their second national title, ending Denver's NCAA tournament winning streak at 7 games.


1962–63 North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's ice hockey season, Season
The five goals scored by UND in the first tied the record held by the 1961 Denver team for the most in the opening period while the seven total goals also tied for the most. While he did win the game, with Joe Lech's less-than-stellar championship game (5 goals allowed on 17 shots) it wasn't much of a surprise that he didn't make either All-Tournament team but five of his teammates were named to the first team: George Goodacre, Don Ross, Al McLean, Dave Merrifield and Don Stokaluk. Team captain Maurice Roberge was also named to the second team. McLean, having scored twice including the game-winner, was named as tournament MOP.

1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season
The 1962–63 season was Port Vale's 51st season of football in the English Football League, and their fourth season in the Third Division. An impressive season saw them finish in third position, one away from promotion. However promotions for both their rivals Stoke City (second to first tier) and Crewe Alexandra (fourth to third tier) meant that Vale had a poor season in comparison. The major talking point of the season was Norman Low's departure and Freddie Steele's return, which came as a shock to the fans.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Third Division
The pre-season saw the arrival of John Rowland, a 'tall and skilful' outside-right from Nottingham Forest for £6,000.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Third Division
The season opened with six points from four games, with three clean sheets to boot. Rowland was dropped from the first eleven following a 2–0 defeat at Ashton Gate on 1 September. Vale then became inconsistent, and so Low added young forward Terry Harkin to the squad from Coleraine, and transfer-listed Stan Steele after he began to be targeted by hecklers at Vale Park. Despite beating Southend United 5–1, the club continued to sink down the table. They then began a nine-game unbeaten streak on 20 October with a 1–1 draw with Carlisle United at Brunton Park.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Third Division
However ten days later manager Norman Low tendered his resignation, to the shock of fans and pundits. Low cited disagreements with the board as the reason for his departure. The club felt they needed a marquee signing and so approached first Tom Finney and then European cup winning coach Béla Guttmann, who had just departed Benfica, both declined the role. Low's successor instead proved to be his predecessor, Freddie Steele, in another development that took many by surprise. Roy Sproson later noted "He [Steele] had changed. He had not got the enthusiasm or drive as before, but the lads still responded to him".


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Third Division
It took until the sixth game of Steele's reign for a goal to be conceded (525 minutes) as 'the Steele Curtain' again descended upon Vale Park. The goal was scored by former Valiant turned bogey player Ronnie Allen for Crystal Palace in a 4–1 home win for Vale. They finished the year chasing promotion, despite losing 4–3 to Reading at Elm Park. No league games were played in January or February due to the Big Freeze.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Third Division
To help with finances during this spell of two months without competitive action, Bert Llewellyn was sold to Northampton Town for £7,000 and Arthur Longbottom was sold to Millwall for £2,000. Back in action in March, Steele found his offence wanting, and so purchased Tony Richards from Walsall for £9,000. Richards immediately impacted himself on the club's scoring charts, eventually finishing as top-scorer for his two months work. For the four weeks following 20 April, Vale recorded eight wins from their final ten matches, though this would prove to be too little to late as far as promotion was concerned.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Third Division
They finished in third spot with 54 points, four short of promotion, though enough to earn them £500 in talent money. Their 58 goals conceded total was fewer only than Swindon Town.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Finances
On the financial side, a profit of £2,275 was made despite an operating loss of £20,557. A donation from the Sportsmen's Association and social club stood at a highly impressive £22,832. Whilst wages remained fairly constant at £33,120, gate receipts had fallen by £8,000. The club's overdraft stood at £41,000, leading to a discussion over whether or not to take out a mortgage on Vale Park.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Finances
The club management took the decision to replace the black and amber kit with the traditional white shirts, black shorts and black and white socks – the kit Steele's men triumphed in almost ten years previously. On the playing front, Peter Ford's departure to Macclesfield Town was the only transfer of note.


1962–63 Port Vale F.C. season, Overview, Cup competitions
In the FA Cup, Vale took their revenge upon Bristol Rovers, dumping them out of the competition at the first stage with a 2–0 win at Burslem on 21 November.

Bradley set the current NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament record for free throws made in 100% effort (16) against St. Joseph's. That continues to be the second best perfect free throw shooting night in Ivy League history. Although the Princeton record book credits Bradley with a 21 for 21 night on January 19, 1963, against Cornell, the Ivy League record book only recognizes one performance better than Bradley's 16 free throw effort (John Lee's 21 on December 27, 1957).


1962–63 Princeton Tigers men's basketball team
Bill Bradley, who for the first of three consecutive seasons led the conference in scoring with a 27.5 points per game average in conference games, and Art Hyland were both first team All-Ivy League selections.

1962–63 Rheinlandliga
The 1962–63 Rheinlandliga was the 11th season of the highest amateur class of the Rhineland Football Association under the name of 1. Amateurliga Rheinland. It was a predecessor of today's Rheinlandliga. It was the seventh and final season in which the league played with two game divisions, East and West. The Rhineland champion was determined through a game between the division champions.


1962–63 Rheinlandliga
The 1. Amateurliga was below II. Division Southwest until 1963 and therefore the third-class in the hierarchy. In the seasons 1956–57 to 1962–63 the league was played in two divisions (East and West). The two division champions played to determine the Rhineland champion. With the introduction of the regional league Southwest as second highest class, starting in the 1963–64 season, the Amateur league Rheinland was again combined into one division.


1962–63 Rheinlandliga
Beginning in the 1974–75 season, the league played a role as a sub-team to the newly introduced 2. Bundesliga, where the Rhineland champion played in a relegation against the champion of the Verbandsliga Südwest and the Saarlandliga, for a position in the south divisions of the 2. Bundesliga. Starting from the 1978–79 season, the Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar was introduced as the highest amateur class and this class was renamed to the "Verbandsliga Rheinland" and since then only fourth class.

1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Amy
Toward the beginning of October, an area of low pressure persisted near Diego Garcia, while a strong anticyclone stretched from Madagascar to Île Amsterdam. On October 9, Diego Garcia reported westerly winds and falling pressure, indicating that a tropical cyclone developed that day. This marked the first October tropical storm formation in the basin since 1911. Given the name Amy, the storm moved to the west-southwest, tracked by Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS). Gradual intensification occurred, aided by the anticyclone to the south, and Amy reached peak winds of around 75 km/h (45 mph) on October 10. Passing north of Rodrigues island, the storm's track shifted more westerly as the anticyclone to the south strengthened. Amy later weakened as it approached the east coast of Madagascar, dissipating on October 17.

Amy produced hailstones on Rodrigues while passing nearby, and brushed St. Brandon with gusty winds. The storm also dropped heavy rainfall and produced moderate waves on Réunion.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bertha
At the end of November, an area of low pressure persisted near Diego Garcia, associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). A circulation developed southwest of the island on November 29, which moved generally to the southwest due to an anticyclone to the south. On December 1, the low pressure area was confirmed to have developed into Tropical Storm Bertha while near the Mascarene Islands. While in the vicinity, the storm produced winds of 55 km/h (35 mph) in Rodrigues. The storm turned to the south, after a polar low weakened the ridge to the south.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Bertha
Bertha passed between Rodrigues and Réunion on December 3, producing only above normal seas. At its peak, the storm reached tropical cyclone status, or peak winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph). Bertha passed 200 km (125 mi) east of Mauritius on December 4 while continuing generally southward. The storm became extratropical the next day, and was last noted on December 6.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Cecile
As early as December 18, an area of low pressure persisted near Diego Garcia. By December 24, falling pressures and increasing winds indicated that Tropical Storm Cecile had developed near St. Brandon. At its peak, the storm reached tropical cyclone status, or peak winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph). On December 25, Cecile passed just east of St. Brandon, where it produced winds of 93 km/h (58 mph) and a pressure of 992 mbar (29.3 inHg). The storm tracked southward, passing between Mauritius and Rodrigues while weakening. Cecile turned more to the south-southeast in tandem with a large anticyclone moving eastward. The storm was last noted on December 28, having become extratropical that day.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Delia
Delia originated near Diego Garcia and moved southwestward, passing north of St. Brandon, east of Madagascar, and west of Réunion. It lasted from January 12 to January 20.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Severe Tropical Storm Emma

Fanny developed northeast of St. Brandon and moved to the west-southwest, crossing Madagascar before dissipating on February 19.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Tropical Cyclone Grace
On February 12, Tropical Storm Grace was moving west-southwestward away from Diego Garcia. It later turned to the south-southeast, passing west of Rodrigues, dissipating on February 22.


1962–63 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Systems, Moderate Tropical Storm Hilda
Tropical Storm Hilda was a short-lived storm that originated in the Mozambique Channel and moved south-southeastward, lasting from February 27 to March 2.

1962–63 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
The 1962–63 season saw Stoke officially celebrate its centenary and the hope from the supporters was that it would be marked by promotion. A failure to win any of their first six matches caused a few grumblings from the fans but a four-goal haul from Dennis Viollet helped Stoke beat Charlton Athletic 6–3 to set the tone for the season. Keith Bebbington and Eddie Clamp joined the club as well as Stoke's first African footballer, Eddie Stuart from South Africa.


1962–63 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
From late August to 8 December Stoke went 18 matches unbeaten and were now regarded as one of the promotion favourites. The run came to an end away at Leeds United ten days before Christmas but after winning at Rotherham United on Boxing Day, the season came to a halt as one of the worst winters on record gripped the country. After two months without football Stoke played again on 2 March and easily beat Walsall 3–0.


1962–63 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
Just after this match Waddington pulled off another impressive transfer when he signed Northern Ireland and Burnley striker Jimmy McIlroy for £25,000 much to the bewilderment of the Burnley fans who regarded McIlroy as their best player. But his debut for Stoke ended in disaster as Stoke crashed to a 6–0 defeat at Norwich City. Thankfully for Stoke that awful result was quickly forgotten as they strung together six successive wins and so entered the final run of matches in fine form.


1962–63 Stoke City F.C. season, Season review, League
A draw at Roker Park was quickly followed by victories over Cardiff City and Sunderland at home while a vital point was gain in a thrilling 3–3 draw at Huddersfield Town. Three straight defeats caused some concern but a 1–0 win at Chelsea meant that Stoke were within one win of gaining a return to the First Division. And so over 12,000 Stoke fans made the trip to Bury to see them gain promotion at Gigg Lane but it did not go well and the "Shakers" certainly stirred things up by winning 2–1 to put the celebrations on hold.

For the penultimate match against Luton Town at the Victoria Ground a crowd of 33,644 turned up to see if Stoke could gain promotion.

Television historians Harry Castleman and Walter Podrazik (1982) state, "Despite all the promises of programming reform made by television executives in May, 1961" (the month of Newton Minow's landmark speech "Television and the Public Interest"), "the 1962–63 schedule turned out to be business as usual". Castleman and Podrazik point out that although the three networks had added generally well-made public-affairs and news programs to their schedules, there were "too many of them and their sheer number diluted the audience and stretched resources far too thin to allow quality productions each week".


1962–63 United States network television schedule, Summary
CBS aired CBS Reports and Eyewitness, NBC broadcast Chet Huntley Reporting, David Brinkley's Journal and Actuality Specials, while ABC had Bell and Howell Close-up and the Howard K. Smith show. Despite Minow's complaints that the sitcoms of the era were "totally unrealistic" and his disdain for cartoons, the new sitcoms of 1962 were even more hostile to Minow's stated taste and were frequently "stretching further than ever for their situations"; increasingly fantastical premises such as hillbillies in the city (The Beverly Hillbillies) and cartoons set a century into the future (The Jetsons) were among the new offerings.
