Playing career
Dennis Abgrall was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings of the NHL in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft in the fifth round, 70th overall and by the Los Angeles Sharks of the WHA in the 1973 WHA Amateur Draft in the fifth round, 60th overall.
Abgrall didn't break into either league, though, until he played 13 games for the Kings in the 1975–76 season. Those 13 games would be his only games played in the NHL and on the first of June, 1976, the Cincinnati Stingers of the WHA signed him to a contract. He would go on to play two seasons, 1976–77 and 1977–78, for the Stingers.
