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

Jumped to Nats from the Pittsburgh Penguins of the NHL ... Played five seasons for the Penguins ... Best season was in 1967-68 when he had 2.88 goals-against average in 53 games ... was American League rookie of the year in 1962 and league's leading goalie in 1964-65 ... Doubled as trainer and backup goalie one year in Cleveland ... Has sharp sense of humor and is reputed to be one of the game's best storytellers.
