Career

Daley was the Sabres' first choice in the 1970 Intra-League Draft. He was also one of the last NHL goalies to play without a mask, although he did wear a mask for Winnipeg in the WHA.

Daley's longest stint in major league hockey was with Winnipeg from 1972-79. He won three league championships with the Jets (1976-77 through 1978-79) and was the WHA's second leading goalie during the 1975-76 season. In 1981-82, he was the coach of the junior hockey Penticton Knights. Currently he operates a successful trading card Store in Winnipeg, Manitoba, aptly named Joe Daley's Sports and Framing.
