The link from The Hockey News: The WHA Chronicles $49.98 The legendary World Hockey Association came into existence in a maelstrom of hype, ridicule and outrage when it took on the NHL as a rival pro league in 1972. For seven rollercoaster season the upstart league barnstormed through cities all over North America bringing with it a cast of characters straight out of Slapshot. And now for the first time ever on any format VSC has put together an authorized retrospective that we hope will capture the essence of the WHA. We’ve put together the only four complete WHA sanctioned games in existence in any quality plus some incredible highlights and brand new interviews with Bobby Hull and Wayne Gretzky. This three disc set will be a limited edition run of 10,000 numbered pieces and is destined to become a collector’s item for any serious hockey fan. Four games: AVCO Cup Final Game Winnipeg vs PQ AVCO Cup Final 1977 New England vs USSR- All Star Game Bonus Features: Fight sequence Interviews: Bobby Hull and Wayne Gretzky Stats Package www.sportonvideo.com/Hockey/The-WHA-Chronicles/

So, I got my DVD's today; Just thought i'd post this little tid-bit.
In an interview with Wayne Gretzky talking about his WHA days, he says that, he knew that playing in Indianapolis wasn't going to last too long because he could tell it wasn't a "Hockey Hotbed"................what's his excuse for Phoenix?

I have heard that there are not many left. Most places sold out of it during the '08 Christmas when it came out! Now, there are probly a few floating around here or there but, to get a low number like you have is awesome! I got mine off of Amazon.ca ( pre order ) and I got #26. I really wanted #1 obviously but...what are ya going to do! Hope you enjoy the games!

Well i just picked up the "Team Canada 1974,The Lost Series" Dvd.The first 2 games I watched are pretty good.I know that the WHA team Canada lost the series,but I find im more into watching this stuff then the NHL team Canada from 72.I think it's likely cause it has more to do with the WHA and Winnipeg with Hull playing.
Quality is pretty good so far,better then the 72 series,even though the footage is third generation since the master tapes no longer exist.
