Gartner with the Cincinnati Stingers

It's amazing how his pose and stance is exactly the same as in, say, 1997. The way he holds the stick is very Mike Gartner. (Only thing missing is the porn-stache.)

What is it with Vancouver and horrible hockey uniforms? Let's see, we've got mustard yellow, orange, white, dark blue, and green stripes. Nicely done.

Maybe if it would have been in the NHL, the WHA was and is supposed to be a revolving door of non stop action.

No need to be upset Panther. I think it's just a matter of the pictures being of poor quality and bad lighting at the time. The colors are actually similar to those used when the team was based in Philadelphia for the first season of 1972-73 but with the addition of black.

Former Seals... sigh....

Paul Shmyr on Cleveland and Wayne Carleton on Toronto, two good players we lost...

Gary Kurt played for a lot of teams in the WHA

Norm Ferguson in a rare shot with the short-lived Jersey Knights!

Led the Seals in scoring in 71-72, gone to the WHA next season!

Bobby Sheehan gets to wear white skates again with the NY Golden Blades!!!

Gary Jarrett rockin' those Crusader threads

You can tell from the orange letters on the logo that this is from Stan Weir's lone season with the Oilers in the WHA.

Old man Howell spent a few years around the WHA
