Playing careerβ»
Andrascik was born in Sherridon, Manitoba. He was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 1968 NHL Amateur Draft in the "first round," eleventh overall. On November 1, "1970," the Red Wings traded Andrascik to the New York Rangers for Don Luce. After five years in the Central Hockey League and American Hockey League, Andrascik made it to the NHL for one game in the 1972 playoffs for the Rangers, on April 23, 1972 against the Chicago Black Hawks; he recorded no points and "no penalty minutes."
About a year after playing his single NHL game, the Rangers traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Instead of joining Pittsburgh, he joined the Indianapolis Racers of the World Hockey Association (WHA) for the 1974β75 season. Only 20 games into the season, he, along with Steve Richardson, were traded to the Michigan Stags for Jacques Locas and Brian McDonald. In the 1975β76 season, Andrascik played for yet another WHA team, the Cincinnati Stingers.
In total, Andrascik played one NHL game and 97 WHA games, scoring 9 goals, 13 assists and 22 points. He died at an assisted living facility in Delmar, Maryland, on May 11, 2024, at the age of 75.
