This one is pretty cool too! I almost think a few of these might be from the very first Jets home game in 1972. Not first game as Hull wasn't allowed to play while waiting for the courts in the US allowing him to. I was at that game, and he definitely didn't play.

Anyone think this is Scott Oake from CBC?? I think it's CJOB's Bob Irving. Yeah, pretty sure that's Irving.

Thanks for the clarification...maybe this was the first home game he was permitted to play. Nice to see the history all the same!

As I have had so much fun with acquiring the first few batches of these photos, I went and purchased the remaining WHA Jets photos. With any luck I should have them scanned and posted by this time next week. I will keep my eyes open as I would really like to try and preserve and share as much of this history of our beloved team as I possibly can. I can almost sense what it must have been like in those exciting early days of the WHA in Winnipeg...so great to see.

I think the players are looking at a Jet player who is being attended to by the athletic trainer on the ice.

Here's another Bobby Hull shot playing against the Chicago Cougars. I never realized how bald he was as all of the publicity photos later show him with quite a head (toupee) of hair!
