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, named Joe Daley's Sports and Framing.
