Excerpts from Pro Hockey, WHA 1975-76 (by Dan Proudfoot)
Now Michel Cormier is a big shot, a respected player in the World Hockey Association, but his friends back in Quebec won't let him forget one thing — it wasn't so long ago he has just playing senior hockey, like a lot of other everyday guys looking for an extra dollar and a little fun. "Mike is Guy Talbot's brother-in-law," Bill MacFarland explains, "and a few seasons ago when Guy Talbot was coaching at Denver in the Western Hockey League, he brought him down for the playoffs. It was a big break for Cormier, because the next year he was able to make Fort Worth of the Central Hockey League, and he was the most valuable player in the league. "Cormier had an off-year when he moved to the Western league in 1973-74, but he was back to form last year. He can really skate." Cormier, 30, was second among Roadrunner scorers in 1974-75 with 36 goals and 38 assists. |
