Excerpts from Pro Hockey, WHA 1975-76 (by Dan Proudfoot) Jim Hargreaves' play improved constantly as the 1974-75 season wore on, a tipoff to the problem that had been holding the young defenceman back. Hargreaves, now 25, lacked confidence. It was comedian Rodney Dangerfield's Can't-Get-No-Respect routine come true. Mariner fans, responded to his bodychecking, making him a favorite, and by the end Hargreaves showed every sign of finally living up to the expectations of 1970, when Vancouver Canucks made him their second choice in a talent-filled amateur draft.

Excerpts from Zander Hollander Complete Hockey Handbook, 1975-76 (by Reyn Davis) Finally arrived as professional under Harry Howell's tutelage in San Diego ... Always considered to be what former NHL great Babe Pratt used to call "a diamond in the rough" ... Grabed in the 1974 WHA expansion draft by the Indianapolis Racers from Winnipeg, then, 37 games later, traded to San Diego for Ken Block ... Added responsibility of being a parent had positive effect on his play ... A clown prince of hockey ... Scored more goals in 41 games at San Diego than he had previously scored in 276 games of professional hockey.
