gold star for USAHOF

Dick Irvin

Dick Irvin
When most hockey fans hear the name of Dick Irvin, they usually think of the legendary broadcaster. However, it was his father (who bore the same name) who was the on ice star.

Irvin had a powerful shot and a cool head that kept him out of the penalty box. He was considered by many to be the top centre in the Western Canadian Hockey League and when that league folded, he joined the Chicago Black Hawks and continued to score goals there. After his playing career ended, Irvin would become one of the game’s top coaches and won four Cups (Three with the Habs and one with the Maple Leafs) and is one of the rare entries in Toronto who could have got in either as a coach or a player.
