Back from Phoenix and the TV announcement for the WHA HOF on the Coyotes TV broadcast. I'll have a piece about that and the NHL Coyotes season done soon. Thanks to Todd Walsh and FSN for having me on his show and for treating the WHA with such respect...
I'm just now off the phone with the original WHA co-founder Dennis Murphy, who kindly shared more stories about the founding of the 1972-1979 league. Dennis also voiced his strong support for the WHA HOF, and is delighted that efforts are being made to secure the WHA's place in hockey history.
Dennis, off course, has been involved in many major league start-ups: the ABA, WHA, World Team Tennis, Roller Hockey International and on and on. His latest new league in development: The International Hockey Association, a proposed 4-on-4 summer pro league. Don't think it could fly? Anyone who bets against Dennis Murphy does so at their own risk!
