Excerpts from Zander Hollander Complete Hockey Handbook, 1976-77 (by Reyn Davis) Came out of college ranks to serve a short apprenticeship as assistant general manager before taking over coaching duties ... Despite his relative youth, 35, he receives the respect of his players as demonstrated late last season when the club was hopelessly entrenched in the basement ... Has his own ideas and employs them ... Easy to meet and very accommodating for members of the media ... Has an ever present cigar ... Perfectly bilingual. |
