Like so many members of the 1967 North Stars expansion squad, Ted McCaskill was a longtime minor league player who was finally getting a shot at the NHL. He appeared in four games for the North Stars that season, picking up two assists. The following year, he went west and enjoyed several productive seasons in the WHL and WHA.
I believe that Ted McCaskill is the father of former Angels & White Sox pitcher (and University of Vermont hockey captain) Kirk McCaskill. IMDB.com also says that he had an uncredited role in the movie Slap Shot.
