We pick up where we left off in
our previous episodes
62 (with the "Whaler Guys") and
100 (featuring WHA-version franchise founder Howard Baldwin)
for a comprehensive look into the former NHL franchise that
regularly sells more branded merchandise than even some
current league teams - the Hartford
Whalers.
Author Pat Pickens ("The Whalers: The Rise, Fall, and Enduring Mystique of New England's [Second] Greatest NHL Franchise") walks us through the history and ongoing mystique of one of the National Hockey League's most enigmatic clubs - one whose legacy endures some 24 years after its odd and bittersweet relocation to Raleigh (via Greensboro), North Carolina in 1997.
