He won three league championships with the Jets (1975-76, 1977-78 and 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.
