Take a cue from football

When the American Football League (AFL) merged with the National Football League (NFL), the NFL took teams, players and statistics. When the WHA merged with the NHL, the NHL took teams, players, but no statistics.

 

Let the NHL know

Please contact the NHL and request consideration regarding the merging of WHA and NHL records. It is time for the NHL to recognize the achievements of all WHA players, as the competition and players rivaled the NHL.
