I have Zaine's Cougar uniform and would like to write to him for an autograph. Anyone have his addy? Thanks

Eric Nesterenko did some type of movie about hockey. Sorry I can't remember the title. I just rember the casting call.

Jacques Demers was the bench coach when Pat Stapleton was the head coach of the Cougars when they went to the finals. Demers went on to coach in the NHL. St louis, Detroit are some of the NHL teams that he coached.

But I am looking for the oldest player, and the youngest player to ever play for the Cougars. Whatever happened to the team's first Captain? Larry "Hank" Cahan, where is he now. Also, what ever happened to Bobby Whitlock?? Bobby was only 16 and had the #16 jersey. He played during the first year of the WHA, before Gretzky.. mail response to DIGTV@YAHOO.COM

Oh yeah.. was there... in DA HOUSE... when Bobby Hull and the Jets returned to Chicago.
And where is ROSIARE PAIMENT??? The former Vancouver Canuck the junped to thew WHA during the first season.

Ralph Backstrom??


And Pat Stapleton, what did he do after coaching the Indianapolis Racers, after the WHA folded??

Can anybody help me locate the following players:

Anderson, Butch Barber,Bernie Blanchette,Brian Coates,Gary Connelly,Rich Coutu,Rich Dumas,Connie Forey,Andre Gill,Don Gordon,Ed Hatoum,Jim Jones,Darrel Knibbs,Gary MacGregor (deceased?),Al MacKenzie,Peter Mara,Dunc McCallum (deceased?),Jim McLeod,Paul Menard,Rick Morris,Eric Nesterenko,Jim Pritchard,Dick Proceviat,Frank Rochon,Lorne Romough,Dick Sarrazin,Pierre Viau,Dave Walter,Jim Watson,Rod Zaine, and Jacques Demers.

Dick Proceviat moved back to northern Ontario. I can't remember where some of the other players/coaches are, but many do keep in touch.

[radconjohn]

I just sent to Paiement in Florida, Backstrom in Colorado, and Sarrazin in Quebec. Hopefully I will get some replies soon.

Hello -- sometime during the Cougars time in Chicago, I played goalie for a kids hockey team in Schaumburg that was coached by two Chicago Cougars players. I cannot remember their names -- I remember one was French Canadian and the other was definitely American. Bernie Blanchette and Don Gordon come to mind, but that's a guess, maybe Pierre Viau. Would anyone know, or if you're ex-players, remember coaching kids hockry in Schaumburg in the 70's? I seem to remember we practiced at the ice rink that was at Woodfield mall many years ago, and one other rink in the area somewhere. Just curious -- responses to slickstah@adelphia.net -- thanks.

CAN YOU LET ME HAVE SARRAZIN`S ADDRESS[alwaysawing]

[radconjohn]

I haven't received anything back from that address yet. I'm not even sure it is the right person or address. He was the only one listed in his hometown, so that's what I'm going on. Let me know if you still want it or if you want to wait until I get a response.

I WILL WAIT,THANKS

[radconjohn]

I just received back my cards that I sent to Dick Sarrazin. THey came unsigned and a note saying that I have a bad addy for him. I found an addy in the Canadian whitepages, in his hometown, that was a Richard Sarrazin, so I thought I would take a shot. It didn't work out. The address I used was: 1821 Deserrables St-Gabriel-De-Brandon, Quebec
I received signed cards back from Ralph Backstrom, but have not gotten anything back from Rosie Paiement yet. Sent to him 2 months ago in Florida.
Anyone know if Paiement is a good signer TTM?

[Big Shooter]

I haven't sent to Rosaire in about four years; but prior to that I received positive responses and replies.

[radconjohn]

Just got my cards back from Rosie Paiement. Sent 4 WHA cards and got them back plus 2 signed business cards. His Bus. cards have a picture of him on the front standing in front of a mural of him in all of his hockey uniforms, looks pretty cool! On the back it has the bar he owns or promotes called
Jester's The Sports Bar. Also has his cell # on it. The address of the bar is:
801 Cypress Creek Rd. Fort Lauderdale, FL. 33334.
The address I sent to was: 3351 South Palm Aire dr. Apt 301
Pompano Beach, FL. 33069-4254.

I know the original post is now 4 years old, but I was just wondering: has the book on the WHA Chicago Cougars been published? I authored the recent book on the WHA Indianapolis Racers (which had many former Cougars on their roster) -- so I'd love to see that book!
