Nick Harbaruk

Day 2 of the Polish Invasion brings us to right winger that played five seasons in the NHL and two and a half more in the WHA by the name of Nick Harbaruk.  Born in Drohiczyn during the time of World War II, he would immigrate to Toronto with his family at the age of five.  Prior to the 1969-70 season, Harbaruk would toil in the AHL, CPHL, WHL, and CHL before being acquired by Pittsburgh.  He would spend four seasons with the franchise before being traded to St. Louis prior to the 1973-74 season.  A year later, he would sign with the Indianapols Racers of the WHA and play two and a half seasons with the team before finishing his playing career in 1976-77 with the Oklahoma City Blazers of the CHL.
