Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1975-76 (by Reyn Davis) Corners are his domain ... Enter them strictly at your own risk ... Highly respected by his former teammates in Chicago ... "If you ever get into trouble on this club, the first one there to help you will always be Rosey", said Brian Coates, a teammate for portions of two seasons ... A very adept fighter whose pugilistic tendencies have not left a network of scars on his own handsome countenance ... An original WHA pioneer who, like Andre Lacroix, Danny Lawson and Gavin Kirk, has never missed a game since its beginning ... Has 50-goal potential, taking about 260 shots a season

Excerpts from Pro Hockey, WHA 1976-77 (by Dan Proudfoot) The trouble with Rosaire Paiement, if you want to look for troubles, is that he isn't Rosy often enough. When the blood is pumping and Rosy's temper is working, he's an extremely effective forward who can shoot goals himself and create more opportunities with his strong fore-checking. "We hope he responds to the responsibility of being a leader," says coach Harry Neale. "Somebody showed the way when he was a rookie. Now it's his turn." Paiement earned four goals and 11 assists in the playoffs. That has to be considered a good sign.
