Canadian ice hockey player
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bob Sicinski (born November 13, 1946, in Brampton, Ontario) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played 353 games in the World Hockey Association. He played with the Chicago Cougars and Indianapolis Racers. Sicinski played in the minor leagues for nearly a decade before taking a chance on the upstart WHA in 1972 with the Chicago Cougars. In late December, he was put on a line with wingers Jan Popiel and Rosaire Paiement by head coach Marcel Pronovost [1] Sicinski had a peak year with 88 points in 77 games on 25 goals and 63 assists. The following year saw him score just 40 points but he contributed 14 points (third most for Cougars players and 13th overall) in the surprising 1974 WHA playoffs run of 18 games, with two of his goals being game-winners as the Cougars made it all the way to the Avco Cup Final.[2] He moved over to the Indianapolis Racers, where his point totals went from 53 in his first year there to just 36 in 60 games. He then played in the CHL, PHL, and the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League before retiring in 1978.
