On the road!

A million details to finish for the tripds, but we're excited about seeing Gordie and the boys in Hartford this weekend -- and then Bobby & The Swedes in Winnipeg for our WHA HOF events!

If you are in the midwest US or Southern Ontario, you will want to get to Cleveland for Andre Lzcroix's August 28 induction and WHA Exhibition game! I'll gladly travel 3,000 miles to see All-Star Whitey Stapleton skate, and I hope you will, too!

Check the Facebook page for updates from the road, and remember that any online orders for WHA HOF merchandise will be shipped on our return @ August 23...

Wish us luck in Hartford and The 'Peg!

one week to Hartford, & get well Jacques!

We'll see you in Hartford next weekend for the Whalers FanFest, including Gordie Howe and a WHA HOF induction ceremony, plus more WHA vintage jerseys courtesy of the MeiGray group. Then we'll head straight to Winnipeg for Bobby Hull & The Swedes for the world premiere of our new WHA Jets film...

Perhaps you know that former WHA coach (and WHA HOF Board member) and all-around great guy Jacques Demers has been recovering from surgery lately. He won't be able to attend our summer events, under doctor's orders not to travel. We send our sincerest wishes to Jacques for a speedy recovery, and we look forward to honoring him soon at a future event when he's up to it.
