Résumé
The WHA began as the scheme of two California lawyers, and it introduced 27 new hockey franchises, a trail of bounced cheques, fractious lawsuits, folded teams, and the crackpots, goons, and crazies that are so well remembered as the league's… bizarre legacy. But the WHA also drove hockey into the modern age, ended the NHL's monopoly, freed players from the reserve clause, ushered in the 18-year-old draft, moved the game into the Sun Belt, and put European players on the ice in numbers previously unimagined. Some strong language. 2005, c2004.
