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

Surrendered Bobby Hull's history-making 77th goal, a blast over his left shoulder ... Strong backup man to number-one netminder Ernie Wakely ... Kicked around senior hockey after stint in pros when the WHA and Los Angeles Sharks came along ... Had a remarkable 2.88 goals-against average in 1972-73, as a Shark ... conscientious worker ... Relaxed and enjoys the San Diego summers ... Originally signed with Detroit chain and also spent time in the Boston organization.
