Bernier was brilliant, leading all playoff scorers in goals, assists and points. Serge was a staple on the league’s scoring leader board appearing there year after year during his 6-year WHA career. Bernier appeared in the leagues annual All Star event in all 6 years that he played in the WHA, thus representing Team Canada in the 1974 8-Game Series between Team Canada WHA and the Soviet Union.
