Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1979-80 (by Reyn Davis)

Relishes contact ... His aggressiveness may lead to mistakes, but, generally he works within the boundaries of good clean hitting ... Received fourth-highest number of minutes in penalties among WHA players last season ... Spends his summers on his farm in Saskatchewan growing wheat and playing baseball... Acquired by the Jets from Montreal Canadiens, who chose him in the second round of the 1976 Amateur Draft ... Longs to play in a hockey city ... Now has that chance.
