On the Calgary Broncos Wikipedia page ( /info/en/?search=Calgary_Broncos) it says that that they moved to Cleveland, but on this page, it says they "folded outright". It would be good to have both pages saying whatever the truth is. Yellowpelican ( talk) 01:46, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
I've heard time and time again that the WHA used different rights than those in the NHL at that time, some later being adoputed by the NHL itself, can someone check that out?
Aren't the Aeros in the AHL now? Does anyone know if the team moved right after the switch or whether it disappeared for awhile? Basil Fawlty
An IP address recently added that when the four WHA teams merged with the NHL, they were only allowed to protect two goalies and two skaters. Is this true? Masterhatch 18:18, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
You know, the two failed ones and the new Super Junior League?
According to Ed Willes' The Rebel League, the team name was actually spelled "Arrows." Doogie2K 09:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
In fall 1978 or even fall 1977, the NHL allowed teams to play WHA teams in exhibition games as they were in pre-season training in September. This is the only inter-league play between the two leagues. If I could find information to back it up, I would add it to the article. I only know from newspaper sports pages showing the schedules of games between WHA and NHL teams. I don't remember the year, but it was in the WHA's dying days.
The WHA was also sometimes nicknamed the World Rocky (Rhockey?) Association. GBC 18:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
At first glance, these contributions by User:Biscuit-in-the-Basket appear to be valid, despite the user's bad history on Wikipedia. I think the section should be restored. Any thoughts? Flibirigit 04:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Only in so far as their playing/coaching careers factored into their HHOF election. In most of those cases that's the case. In the case of Pronovost, Richard and Rollins, certainly not, and Bathgate's 11 game WHA career's damn tenuous. Plainly the WHA had significant impacts on the careers of Gretzky, Howe, Hull, Sather, Cheevers and Keon, though. Ravenswing 17:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

There's not much I can add. GoldDragon has a long history of removing fact tags without adding sources. Several editors, myself included, have explained on his talk page. He has been told (by another editor) that removing fact tags in an edit is vandalism and will result in the reversion of such edits. That's what I have been doing -- reverting edits where he removed legitimate fact tags. AverageGuy ( talk) 22:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

"On the ice, the WHA teams had proven themselves to be the NHL's competitive equals, winning more games than they lost in interleague exhibition games" I have a hard time with this, as the only evidence is in games that did not count. Do RSs say that they were competitive equals? Dbrodbeck ( talk) 15:50, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, but claiming that the New England Whalers was a team that didn't move during the entire existence of the WHA is not technically correct. As the entry for the Hartford Whalers points out "[o]riginally based in Boston, Massachusetts, it was known as the New England Whalers throughout its time in WHA. The team moved to Hartford in 1974 and joined the NHL in the NHL–WHA merger of 1979." Granted they did not move out of the region, but they did relocate out of Boston because of the inability to book dates in the old Boston Garden which was owned by the rival NHL Bruins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmcoxe ( talk • contribs) 21:00, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Does there need to be articles for every Avco Cup held (seven in total) to give clarity to how the team won it (as opposed to the article for the Avco World Trophy), or is not needed? Wikidude10000 ( talk) 07:09, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
