Excerpts from Zander Hollander Complete Hockey Handbook, 1976-77 (by Reyn Davis)
A hockey nut ... Loves the game and its people ... Given up as a broken-down hockey player in the NHL, he braced his knee and built up strength in his loose-jointed limbs to become one of the 20 best defensemen in Major League hockey ... Has a great shot, superb reach, a temper with a high boiling point and a dash of finesse and a penchant for blocking shots ... A worldly person ... played in all 81 league games, 13 playoff games and 10 exhibitions ... Shocked a national television audience in Sweden when he literally threw left winger Mats Soderholm after being struck with a high stick.
