Two-time WHA MVP and Montreal Canadiens Stanley Cup winner Marc Tardif is the forgotten star of the 1970s. The WHA’s all-time leading goal scorer and an NHL All Star, Tardif’s magnificent career is certified Hall of Fame worthy.
By the end of the 1975-76, Tardif was the best LW in the game.
But Tardif’s career nearly came to a premature end in April 1976 after a violent and senseless attack left him bloodied and severely injured. Eventually, Tardif battled back from the physical pain, managed his emotional trauma and go on to realize his greatest career achievements.
When his playing days ended, the Quebec Nordiques retired his #8 and he’d enjoy great success off the ice. But the nightmares of that horrifying night in 1976 persisted.
In order to erase those haunting memories and achieve true peace of mind, Marc Tardif would need to come face to face with the man who nearly ruined his life.

Montreal had such an absolute unreal advantage with their ridiculous ability to draft those players for free before the rest of the league, imo it forever tarnishes their accomplishments.

The rules allowed a team to claim all players within a 200 mile radius. There was no draft. Players outside that area would be scouted by all teams and representatives would approach junior plays and their families. Junior players, teenagers, were essentially free agents.

I think most hockey fans these days know that. When I was a kid, you could get into a fight at school, and you'd get sent to the principals office. If I got into a fight at the grocery store, the cops would be called. Nowadays, the cops are called on kids fighting in grade school. Things have definitely changed, and hockey hasn't been immune to the changes.

@@ProHockeyAlumni and you do. The 70s was such an interesting time. in some ways it seems the players were still treated as property by the league. they were expected to do as they were told and there was not much regard for whatever they might be going through emotionally or psychologically. Hell management was often just as indifferent to their physical pain and injuries. Even among the players (maybe especially among the players) there was such a strong ethos to just be tough and play through pain. The interview with Tardif where he tries to describe the terrible after effects of his injury is very poignant. He can't quite articulate what he's experiencing but seems resigned to the fact that he may never be as he was before, finally saying what can he do except take it day by day. Wow. Thing were changing. It's still changing. But these stories are very powerful.

I was 14 years old in the spring of 1976 living in my hometown of Calgary when that horrific brawl took place. Perhaps it’s also time to start lobbying to encourage admitting Marc Tardif to the HHOF.

I had the fortune of watching Marc many times when he played junior for the Thetford Canadiens. Houle and Perreault were great, but I think Marc had the most natural talent of the three. Many times, he seemed to be coasting on the ice, but whenever he WANTED to score a goal, he could start from in back of his net and go through the whole opposing team. Another small anecdote : There was a huge, plastic, Laurentide beer sign way up on the wall in back of the net of the Thetford arena and Marc was the only one who succeeded in putiing a hole in it with one of his slapshots. What a player!

Shawinigan Bruins, Sorel Black Hawks, Drummondville Rangers, Trois-Rivières Leafs, Thetford Mines Canadiens are the teams I remember. To name a few players just off the bat : Houle, Tardif, Perreault, Rogie Vachon, Richard Martin, René Robert, Philip Myre, Gilles Gilbert, Michel Dumas, Gilles Gilbert, André Dupont, Ron Fournier, Serge Bernier and more who ended up in the WHL.

Bob I was thinking the same thing. At 9:25 they show footage of him skating in practice. When you watch old hockey videos you can almost tell what year it is by the way they skate. In that footage he looks like a player of today the way he skates and shoots the puck. Did you see him take the pass of his skate and kick it to his stick in one motion? That was a drill taught well into the 80's. Unbelievable. What a story.

Alan Globenski actually played here in Maine for a bit with the Maine Nordiques. I actually played some mens league with both Alan and Reyjean Trembley. Brings back some great memories.

Thanks for this blast from the past. I can’t recall seeing Tardif play bc I never watched the WHA bc it was basically a goon show. Tho, 2 great goalies such as “King” Richard Brodeur and John Garrett both ended up with the Canucks in the 80’s. Clearly, he was a special player and should be in the HHOF. Just watching him from those low res videos, his play was effortless, like Mario Lemieux.

I still recall hearing the radio broadcast in Chicago as a kid circa 1972 when Tardif fought Phil Russel at the old stadium, announcer Lloyd Pettit with the call.

Phil was a tough customer -- with an excellent skill level.

I think it was his rookie year, he teamed up with Magnuson but that WHA was a vicious league, I still can't believe they didn't wear helmets back then.

Used to be a hardcore fan back in the 70s, listening to Dan Kelly out of KMOX in St. Louis and Jerry Trupiano at KTRH Houston. Now that I have access to numerous hockey games I'm no longer a big fan, but I wish I was.

Great story, well told. These are the type of sports stories that need more recognition. Much appreciated that you spotlighted a mostly forgotten story. Your assessment that Tardif is underappreciated is true, he didn't get the full exposure he deserved because of how the NHL till this day pretends the WHA didn't exist. Give us a break. Tardif should be in the hockey HOF, maybe he is, I'm not sure.

Tardiff deserves to be in the Hockey Hall of Fame. I would hope that some of the other guys who excelled in the WHA get in, too.

Granted, the teams were for the most part weaker, but it wasn't devoid of talent. Gordie Howe and his sons played in Houston, Tardiff, Cloutier and Ftorek were in Quebec, Bobby Hull, Anders Hedberg and Ulf Nilsson were with Winnipeg. Wayne Gretzky was with Indianapolis, and I believe he was with Edmonton just prior to the merger. And several players jumped from NHL teams to the WHA, like Bernie Parent and I believe Gerry Cheevers. Mike Walton also played in the WHA. And many players who started out in the WHA became very fine hockey players in the NHL.

good points ... the WHA wasn't a minor league but it wasn't the NHL ... somewhere in between as evidenced by the results of the 1979-80 season..

​@ProHockeyAlumni I'd argue the WHA teams mightve had more of a chance in 1979-1980 if they were able to keep their players. Lost all the players other NHL teams had the rights to, could only protect 2 players, and they were moved to the back of the order of the 1979 NHL draft. Those 4 teams mightve looked a lot better had they actually been able to keep their teams

I'm 60,grew up in the 70s an enormous hockey fan(Toronto fan) but honestly don't recall this incident very well,probably because I saw the WHA as an inferior league(it wasn't). I remember Tardif but forgot how prolific he was in that league.

Tardif had HHOF written all over him.. he was a bigger, faster version of bill barber..that late 60s Jr Canadiens team had some talent. Perreault, Martin, tardif, houle, lalonde.. wow..

In the end, it looks like life/karma/conscience took it out of Jodzio. My guess is he suffered silently for a time with guilt. Glad he was able to mend fences; life's too short.
