Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1973-74 (by Reyn Davis & Charley Hallman)

Although Bobby Hull is technically coach of the Jets, it is Mickoski behind the players bench... Learned his game under frank Boucher, Lynn Patrick, Tommy Ivan, Milt Schmidt and others ... A minor-league player who went on to direct the senior program in Newfoundland ... Teamed with Ben Hatskin as the coach of the Jets of the WCJHL five years ago ... after four seasons as coach, Nick was named Hull's assistant ... Also serves as a scout.
