Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1975-76 (by Reyn Davis)
Left a first-place team, the Oklahoma City Blazers in the Central League, to coach an expansion franchise in the three-year old World Hockey Association ... Had precious little scoring power ... Not until Jim Browitt arrived from league headquarters to be general manager did the talent start rolling in ... A pragmatic coach who never makes the mistake of overestimating a player's ability to produce ... He's satisfied with a man's best efforts ... A minor-league player during his career on ice, twice he played in England for the Wembley Lions ... Stresses fundamental hockey ... Knows the player market |
