Excerpts from Zander Hollander's Guide to Pro Hockey, 1973-74 (by Reyn Davis & Charley Hallman)

Although not a great player himself, Shaw has turned into one of the game's finest coaches ... Had the best record of any junior coach the last five years as head man at St. Catherines, then Moose Jaw and finally the Edmonton Oil Kings the past two years ... Has reputation of getting the most out of his players ... His Oil Kings won the WCJL last season, but were beaten out by Medicine Hat in the Memorial Cup Western final ... Named coach of the Oilers in late June 1973.
