Excerpts from Pro Hockey, WHA 1976-77 (by Dan Proudfoot)

Peter Driscoll is a left wing with no knack for scoring goals. He didn't get many more than a dozen in a good year as a junior and he isn't much different as a pro, so with most teams he'd be restricted to a minor defensive role.

With a team coached by Joe Crozier, though, Driscoll is a 22-year-old with a future. He's 190 pounds, he's tough, and Crozier figures somebody else can handle the scoring. "Driscoll can be a leader" says scout Al Millar. "He'll play a lot for us."

 

Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1978-79 (by Reyn Davis)

Rugged left wing was acquired from Quebec on December 4, 1977, for cash ... Longed for more ice time in Quebec ... Found it in Indianapolis ... Statistically, he had his best season ever ... Hottest commodity the Racers have ... Ranks among the league's best fighters ... Drives a Jeep and owns a German shepherd ... Wears his bare feet in clogs no matter where he is --- Edmonton in the dead of winter or Houston in spring
