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

Team academic ... reads heavy books and studies intently in the off-season ... took a class in business administration at the University Of Montreal last summer ... Considered the Nordiques' most aggressive player, at home and away ... gives fans their money's worth in entertainment ... Deeply interested in the Quebec political picture ... One of two Nordiques, the other is Dale Hoganson, who dressed for all 78 games in 1974-75 ... has improved his goal total slightly every year scoring 25, then 26 and, most recently, 28 ... Had five game-winning goals ... completely dedicated.

 

Excerpts from Pro Hockey, WHA 1976-77 (by Dan Proudfoot)

Racer coach Jacques Demers comes right to the point about Michel Parizeau: "There's the main reason we made the playoffs," he says. "Michel seemed to take over our offense after he joined the team."

Parizeau was acquired from Quebec City Nordiques on Feb. 18, 1976 for Bob Fitchner and, in the 23 regular season games he played for Racers, got 13 goals and 15 assists. Nordique management rated Parizeau highly as a two-way player. With the Racers, though, he's a leader: his eight points in the playoffs led all other Indianapolis scorers.
