Today's Canadian Headline....
1972
Winnipeg Manitoba - Bobby Hull signs 10-year contract for $2,500,000 to coach and play for the Winnipeg Jets of the fledgling World Hockey Association, giving the WHA instant credibility; hockey's first millionaire, Hull plays out his career with Swedish stars Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson. Here he is in action in 1967 against the Leaf's Bruce Gamble.
