    His NHL career record was 69-77-28 in 203 career games.
    His contributions to the innovations of modern goaltender equipment were largely ignored by hockey pundits.
    He holds the distinction of being the first goalie Wayne Gretzky scored his first professional goal on.

    He was credited with designing the prototype of the modern mask-cage combination goalie mask.
    He led the Oilers in various goaltending categories, during the franchise's seven seasons as a World Hockey Association franchise.
    Despite not having the same accolades as his brother, he was genuinely happy for his success.
    He oversaw the Sleeping Children Around the World foundation, which provided bed kits to children in third world countries.
    He was married to his wife for 59 years, prior to his death.
