It was Calgary's first opportunity to see players that were once in the NHL or were going to end up there.
Hull, the Howes, Cheevers, Sanderson, Mahovolich, Henderson and Keon.
Edmonton was actually the Alberta Oilers at first.

I worked with Danny for a few months when i was a young guy. Pretty good hockey player and scored 60 in the WHA...quite an accomplishment.
Smokey was the epitome of what the WHA was...a character in a league FULL of them. Great hockey and complete chaos.
