Ray Allison

<h2 id="playing-career">Playing career</h2> <p>Following a phenomenal junior career, Allison became the first-ever draft pick in the history of the Hartford Whalers/<a href="/facts/Carolina_Hurricanes/6W142XTg">Carolina Hurricanes</a> franchise. He was expected to be a franchise player but failed to impress during his rookie season. A year later, Allison was traded in a ten-player deal to Philadelphia. There he would develop into a scoring forward but suffered a broken ankle during the <a href="/facts/1982%25E2%2580%259383_NHL_season/f8L6137K">1982–83 season</a>. He never regained a regular spot on the Flyers roster and played his last few seasons in the <a href="/facts/American_Hockey_League/vXV0G455">AHL</a> and Swiss leagues.<a class="footnote-ref"
