National Alumni Association and Alan Eagleson enquiry
In the 1980s, former NHL stars such as Gordie Howe and Bobby Orr noticed that they were not being paid to the full amount that they should have been paid. They then called Mr. Eagleson who said that it was their general managers' fault. A reporter named Russ Conway found his way into the story, and soon it became national news. Finally, Eagleson was indicted on many counts, and was told to serve in prison for fraud. Mr. Regan was head of the National Alumni Association, contacting any player involved with Eagleson.
Personal life
Mr. Regan retired soon after the Eagleson inquiry and currently lives in Ottawa, Ontario with his wife Pauline. He is still questioned about his role in the Eagleson inquiry. He remains in close contact with players such as Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard and Boom Boom Geffrion.

Before joining the NHL, Mr. Regan played in senior-league hockey. He won the Allan Cup with the Ottawa Senators of the QSHL, then joined the Shawinigan Falls Cataracts.
