Excerpts from Zander Hollander Complete Hockey Handbook, 1975-76 (by Reyn Davis)

Excels as a checker ... former coach Harry Howell put the big fellow between Brian Bradley and Brian Morenz on a line that faced all the high producers San Diego met ... Starts off almost every shift by winning faceoff ... A team comedian ... Arrived in Calgary via intraleague draft ... Enjoys water skiing and fishing near his Nelson, British Columbia, home in the summer ... Played in the NHL with California Golden Seals before being selected by the New York Raiders in the 1972 WHA player draft ... Injuries slowed him during 1973-74 season, but he still managed 20 goals.
