Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1975-76 (by Reyn Davis) Nickname is "Moon"... Rose to prominence and earned the adulation of San Diego fans... Turned Andre Lacroix's passes into many of his club-record 54 goals... Considered deceptive by goaltenders who rarely notice how quickly and gracefully he moves from side to side near the net... Has a shot that ranks as one of the leagues best... Fires skimmers, about an inch off the ice... Hits with regularity... One of the six WHA players who fired 300 or more shots last season ... A third-team All Star.
