Alexander Pavlovich "Rags" Ragulin (Russian: Александр Павлович Рагулин; May 5, 1941 in Moscow, Soviet Union - November 17, 2004 in Moscow, Russia) was a defenseman for the Red Army ice hockey team, CSKA Moscow (1962–1973), a 10 time World Champion, and a 3-time Olympic champion (1964, 1968 and 1972).
A key player in the now-legendary games against the NHL, Ragulin was usually given what he called the "unenviable task" of going up against Phil Esposito.
