He was also a member of Team Canada at the 1972 Summit Series but did not play. As a Buffalo Sabre he was often the only defenceman on the powerplay due to their depth at right wing, which pushed Rene Robert back to the other point while Danny Gare lined up on the wing along with Gilbert Perreault and Rick Martin. Although he was not a big goal scorer his hard slap shot resulted in many tip goals on the power play. At full strength he often was paired with Bill Hajt.
