Dupere would break in with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but by that point, he was already taking the route of the journeyman.
That pretty much sums up his career: journeyman, I mean.
He was a defensive specialist with a deceptive wristshot. He had to have been a defensive specialist; personal feelings for the
plus-minus stat notwithstanding, when other Rockies players were deep in the minus, he was a plus.
He started seeing minor league games again during his time with the franchise. (The last time he did was while he was Toronto
property.) That was a sign that his career was nearing an end, which it did in 1978 with his retirement.
After a year off, he did play a season in a senior league, then one in France. He retired for good after that season in France.
