Also a good little writeup on Gordie Gallant:

, I wanna say he later played in the IHL in the late 70's for Toledo but I could be wrong...thought I remember him in a unbelievable punch out with Archie Henderson.
The vids I've seen of Maxwell are all NHL stuff and he does fine for himself. Let's face it, the NHL had better tough guys, they just, with some exceptions, didn't fight as much. He was pretty dominant when he first came up in the WHA. I saw that myself and he was a big guy for his early days anyway.

The Gallant-McNamee fight was an eyebrow raiser at the time. The bigger fighters had arrived and Gord was kind of supplanted as top dog.
