The enigmatic Stoughton had an up-and-down stint in the WHA. Often teamed with Rick Dudley and Rich Leduc on the "LSD" line, Stougton scored 52 goals for the Cincinnati Stingers in 1976-77. The next year, however, the free-wheeling Stoughton chafed under the restrictive defensive style of new coach Jacques Demers, fell into a horrendous slump and was peddled to the Indianapolis Racers by mid-season. When the Racers folded in 1978, he was signed by the New England Whalers where he labored on a third line with Mike Rogers, scoring 19 goals. Stoughton was drafted 7th overall by the Penguins in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft . He played his junior career with the Flin Flon Bombers . Stoughton scored at least 50 goals in a season in the NHL twice, and scored at least 40 goals four times.
