Hello, It is very interesting what Ken Block said about the number of 1st year Racers. I do feel that numbers of players that were on a roster at any given...
My guess is the draft year of 1979. Messier, Goulet, Bourke, Gartner plus a host of others. Adding that it was Gretzke's first NHL season (but not drafted)...
I had kept a short list of players called up, or otherwise listed on game rosters, but who never actually got credit for appearing in a game (in the WHA). In...

Could it be "Carl Voss" may have actually been John Voss (goalie)? Also, regarding Connie Forey: I seem to remember he was suspended by thr WHL in the early...
Dave, Forey had already been banned by the WHL, and subsequently from most other minor leagues as they all upheld the suspension. The Chicago Cougars of the ...
Yes, John Voss is a name I've seen but I can't remember the team or year. I'm now going to have to go down to the basement and dig out the old Hockey News and...
I don't think it was Edmonton, I have done extensive research on their WHA years, and have a list of players that were on the roster and did not play. Prior to...
Actually I was mistaken about John Voss. When I checked the Hockey News I did not find his name, in fact the year he could have most likely been called up...
I ran a check on the SIHR database, and found that Voss had been playing for Beauce (NAHL) and Greensboro (SHL) in 75-76. He could have been a call-up as...
I stand corrected on the Carl/John Voss mis-id. I have copies of the Chicago official score sheets which listed him playing in March 1974 against Quebec, and...
I realized afterwards my email below was vague - the second paragraph refers to Connie Forey and was in response to another subthread. Lesson: don't type...
Scott, Thanks for clearing that up on Forey. I know I sent you the orginal newspaper clipping on Forey but I'm curious how did come the offical score sheet?...
Hi Doug and all, Yes, the more I look into it, the more it seems there were players who suited up in the WHA for handfuls of games, but who slipped through the...
Speaking of John Voss... here's a story from '74-75 (CHL) that I'll never forget: The Salt Lake Golden Eagles were hosting the Omaha Knights in the Adams Cup...

I asked this question a week ago but no one has got back to me. Which draft has produced the most career goals in the NHL?? Would it be 1984 maybe. [Non-text...

Tim My interest in the WHA is how it was able to find players from unknown (sub semi-professional in some cases) leagues and put them in competition with the...
Hi all, I'm doing some research for an article I'm writing and I'm trying to get in touch with Ed Anderson, the former owner of the Providence Bruins. Does...
