World Hockey Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the league had many players under contract by June of 1972, including a few NHL stars such as Bernie Parent, many of its players were career minor leaguers and college players. By 1976, it had become evident that many of the WHA's franchises were teetering on the verge of financial collapse, with stable teams few and far between, and that the at one time combined 30 teams of the NHL and WHA had badly strained the talent pool. Facing financial difficulty and unable to meet payrolls, the WHA and the NHL finally came to an agreement on March 22, 1979, whereby the Edmonton Oilers, New England Whalers (renamed the Hartford Whalers), Quebec Nordiques, and Winnipeg Jets would join the NHL as expansion teams, and the WHA would cease operations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/World_Hockey_Association   (1596 words)

Hartford Whalers (1972-1997) Following the season the WHA would fold, but the Whalers, along with the Oilers, Quebec Nordiques, and Winnipeg Jets would be invited to join the NHL. In their 2nd NHL season the Whalers would struggle all season finishing in 4th place with a 24-41-18 record missing the playoffs by 11 points. While other WHA teams spent their money on NHL stars the Whalers decided to go after solid steadier players, and it paid off as they would go on to finish with a league best 46-30-2 record. www.sportsecyclopedia.com /nhl/hartford/whalers.html   (1754 words)

Quebec Nordiques (1972-1995) With the future of the WHA in doubt Nordiques owner Marcel Aubut began lobbying the NHL to admit his franchise and absorb all the WHA franchise as part of a merger. As with other WHA teams that joined the NHL, the Nordiques were allowed to only retain 3 players, (with the rest being place in a dispersal draft) thus becoming an expansion team again, and marking the NHL's return to Quebec City 60 years after the Bulldogs left for Hamilton. In the final WHA season the Nords would finish in 2nd place with a 41-34-5 record as Real Cloutier won the league's final scoring title. www.sportsecyclopedia.com /nhl/quebec/nordiques.html   (2426 words)

ESPN.com - Page2 - Worst Pro Teams of All-time But in 1980-81, the team's second NHL season, they set both an NHL and a modern major pro sports record by going 30 games without a win in November and December. Which was probably why the Mavs managed to avoid being lumped in with the 76ers for the worst season record in NBA history. They began the season with 15 straight losses, and also recorded losing streaks of 20, 14, and finally 13 to end the season. espn.go.com /page2/s/list/worstproteam.html   (1430 words)

The Herald - Minor-league hockey cards to hit market in fall The new Pacific sets will be the first WHA sets since O-Pee-Chee issued cards for the league from its inaugural 1972-73 season through the 1977-78 campaign.
