I dug out my collection of Sporting News Hockey Guides & Registers from the attic.
Hockey Reference only has NHL game logs, so for the WHA will have to estimate games missed based on season stats. (is there any equivalent site for WHA?)
Total NHL book unfortunately doesn't include any WHA stats.
Total Hockey has WHA stats, but not the suspension/injury info like Total NHL.
Anyway, here's a few more from 73-74 Sporting News Hockey Register:
Barry Ashbee, Boston 66-67, Spinal surgery, missed entire season.
Ralph Backstrom, Montreal 70-71, 'retired' after 69-70 season before returning. Missed first 24 games of 70-71.
Fred Barrett, Minnesota 72-73, Broken hand in camp, missed first 6 games.
Terry Clancy, Toronto 71-72, sat out entire season in retirement, returned in 72-73.
Brian Conacher, Detroit 68-69 , 69-70 & 70-71, was drafted by Detroit from Toronto in June 1968, sat out until 71-72 season.
John Cunniff, New England 72-73, knee surgery, missed start of season, returned & played 32 games that year.
Gary Doak, Boston 66-67, broken leg in camp , missed first 38 games.
Gary Doak, Vancouver 71-72, knee injury in pre-season, missed first 14 games.
Gary Doak, Detroit, 72-73, broken leg in camp, missed first 13 games.
