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

Bright and dynamic, he's livened up the Edmonton scene ... Only 35, he shows signs of becoming a superb coach ... Ideas honed by 10 major-league seasons, most of which were spent on the bench waiting to play specialty roles ... Noisy behind the bench ... Studied child psychology ... Progressed rapidly in the Oilers organization in his first year, jumping from player to captain to assistant coach to coach and general manager ... Engulfs himself in an expensive wolf coat during Edmonton's cold winters ... Saved the lives of two Edmonton teenagers last winter when their car went off a road, rolled down an embankment and caught fire ... Disciple of Sam Pollock
