1975-76 O-Pee-Chee NHL Checklist

Card Notes

Toronto’s fifth leading scorer last year despite missing 16 games. First team All-Star selection as junior. Strong skater and has wicked wrist shot.

En Français

Cinquième meilleur compteur des Maple Leafs l’an derniere même s’il manqua 16 parties. Sur la première équipe d’étoiles de sa ligue junior. Ce patineur puissant a un lancer redoutable du poignet. Peut aussi jouer à l’aile gauche.

French Bonus

In the French version of the information snippet on the back of this 1975-76 O-Pee-Chee hockey card adds an extra line of information. The extra line states that McDonald can also play left wing. Nothing earth shattering but interesting that the English and French are not always the same on the backs of hockey cards.
