Serge Bernier

Serge Joseph Bernier, nicknamed "Toutou" — roughly "Big Teddy Bear" — was born April 29, 1947, and is a Canadian former professional ice hockey right winger who played between 1968 and 1981. He spent seven seasons in the National Hockey League with the Philadelphia Flyers, Los Angeles Kings and Quebec Nordiques, and six seasons in the World Hockey Association with Quebec.

Bernier holds the distinction of being the first draft pick in Philadelphia Flyers history. On January 28, 1972, he was traded along with Bill Lesuk and Jim Johnson from the Flyers to the Kings in exchange for Ross Lonsberry, Bill Flett, Jean Potvin and Eddie Joyal.

He scored 308 combined goals across the NHL and WHA, with the majority coming in the WHA. His 230 WHA goals were the third-most for the Nordiques during the franchise's time in the league, behind Real Cloutier and Marc Tardif. In the 1977 WHA playoffs, Bernier led the entire postseason in points, with 36, and assists, with 22, and tied for the lead in goals, with 14, carrying the Nordiques to the Avco World Trophy for the only time in franchise history. He was named WHA Playoff MVP for his efforts.

In 2010, Bernier was part of the initial group of players elected to the World Hockey Association Hall of Fame.
