Hmmm, not right? If it's not him I'm really lost as to who it is then.

interesting that he's listed on that website..yet the answer that I have ..is different.

I can see why you call your questions are called tough trivia!!
I am curious to see what the correct answer is...

well the answer that I had was
Bernie Parent....

Maybe the question was "first Canadian player?"

According to "Wikipedia", it says that Bernie was the first player to "jump" to the WHA.

Ok now this is weird. Here is a link where it says he was the first big name player to sign with the WHA.
