The World Hockey Association simply changed major league hockey forever. Bobby Hull gave the upstart rebel league instant credibility when he signed with the Winnipeg Jets in 1972, then a flood of new talent including for the first time highly skilled Europeans pushed hockey to new heights.

A launch pad for Wayne Gretzky & Mark Messier, by 1979 the WHA helped to create the modern game we enjoy today.

The final installment in the 3-part WHA Hall of Fame Video Series, the 2-DVD Remembering The WHA set includes an all-new League documentary that explores the legacy of the the World Hockey Association and its generation of players, coaches and management.

More than 25 former WHA players and coaches are interviewed, and newly found vintage game footage and never-seen-before photographs help tell their important contribution to hockey's evolution.

Extensive restored WHA game highlights are also featured, showing the best WHA stars in action. J.C, Tremblay, Frank Mahovlich, Gordie Howe and his sons Mark and Marty, Pat Stapleton, Anders Hedberg, Ulf Nilsson, Real Cloutier, Marc Tardif, Gerry Cheevers, and coach Jacques Demers and Glen Sather are just a few of the hockey legends seen in action.

The second DVD is a collection of newly restored WHA team films, including much rare game footage, chronicling the birth of the league and its evolution throughout the 1970s.

This is the third installment of the three-part WHA Hall of Fame documentary video series. Volume One is titled Gretzky, Indy & The WHA, and Volume Two is titled WHA Legends: Winnipeg Jets vs Houston Aeros.
