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

Nicknamed "The Wisp" be his teammates ... A hard-shooting right-winger who started slowly last season ... Considered the fastest of all Jets in the straightaway ... A former mechanic in the Swedish Army ... Funny fellow who does a good impression of a rooster ... Scored the key goal of the season last year, scoring in overtime in New England to beat the Whalers who were fighting for first place with the Jets ... His career has survived a broken wrist, nose and cheekbone, and torn knee ligaments ... Played 124 games in the 1976-77 season for what must be a record.
