Due to the unique status of the first season of the Tri-Cities Blackhawks as a team, Gauchet would be one of nine players from the team's inaugural season to only play for the Blackhawks during that same season as opposed to either also or only playing for the Buffalo Bisons precursor team from 1946 as well.
