Nordiques back on the ice!

I want to encourage WHA fans to write to me and share their thoughts about the WHA, and any news about WHA players and events.

Here is a great example: Stephane Harvey, a hockey historian and WHA Quebec Nordiques authority, shared this with me today (March 11, 2010):

"This Saturday I will go to Quebec city to see the old-timers game between the Nordiques and the Montreal Canadiens at the historic Quebec Colisee. Some ex-WHA players will play: Michel Goulet, Real Cloutier, Alain Côté, Louis Sleigher for the Nordiques and also Peter Stastny who played with his country, Czechoslovaquia against WHA team will be there. For the Habs, Mark Napier.

Here is my list of the 10 most memorables or important games played at the Colisee de Quebec during the 7 years of WHA:

1. Fisrt WHA game oct. 13 1972 Nordiques shutout the Oilers 6-0
2. First game of Bobby Hull in the WHA Nov. 8 1972
3. First All-Star game of the WHA, January 6 1973
4. The first game of the 1974 summit between Team Canada and USSR Sept. 17 1974
5. The Houston Aeros won their second AVCO cup, May 12 1975
6. The infamous Rick Jodzio-Marc Tardif incident April 11 1976
7. The Nordiques beat USSR 6-1, January 8 1977
8. The Nordiques won the Avco Cup in the 7th game, May 26 1977.
9. The WHA all-star game of 1978, January 17
10. Bobby Hull scored his 1000th goal, March 8 1978

So it's always a pleasure to see a hockey game at the Colisee!"

Thank you again Stephane for your support of the WHA HOF and for keeping alive the memory of the WHA Quebec Nordiques!
