The North Bay, Ontario native came out of the Toronto junior hockey ranks, eventually signing on as a free agent with [[Conn Smythe|Conn Smythe's]] Toronto Maple Leafs. Gracie made the jump from the [[Ontario Hockey Association|OHA's]] [[Toronto Marlboros]] and appeared in eight games for the Leafs in the [[1930–31 NHL season]] registering four goals and two assists for six points. The following season Gracie appeared in all forty eight regular season games for the Maple Leafs and all seven post-season contests. Playing on a line with [[Frank Finnigan]] and [[Harold Darragh]] he helped Toronto win a Stanley Cup in their first season at [[Maple Leaf Gardens]], sweeping the [[New York Rangers]] in the Stanley Cup Finals three games to none in the best-of-five series. Gracie would once again appear in all forty eight regular season games the following year with the Leafs, helping them back to the Stanley Cup Finals in [[1932–33 NHL season|1932–33]], where they faced off against New York once again, only to see the Rangers prevail in the final series three games to one. |

Playing career | 1930–1939 |
Robert John Gracie (November 8, 1910 – August 3, 1963) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who played 10 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, New York Americans, Montreal Maroons, Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Black Hawks.
Playing career
[edit]Toronto Maple Leafs
[edit]The North Bay, Ontario native came out of the Toronto junior hockey ranks, eventually signing on as a free agent with Conn Smythe's Toronto Maple Leafs. Gracie made the jump from the OHA's Toronto Marlboros and appeared in eight games for the Leafs in the 1930–31 NHL season registering four goals and two assists for six points. The following season Gracie appeared in all forty eight regular season games for the Maple Leafs and all seven post-season contests. Playing on a line with Frank Finnigan and Harold Darragh he helped Toronto win a Stanley Cup in their first season at Maple Leaf Gardens, sweeping the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup Finals three games to none in the best-of-five series. Gracie would once again appear in all forty eight regular season games the following year with the Leafs, helping them back to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1932–33, where they faced off against New York once again, only to see the Rangers prevail in the final series three games to one.
Boston Bruins and New York Americans
[edit]Gracie's time with Toronto came to an end after being traded to the Ottawa Senators for Hec Kilrea before the start of the 1933–34 season. Ottawa in turn, immediately dealt him the same day to the Boston Bruins for Percy Galbraith, Bud Cook and Teddy Saunders. Gracie played the first 24 games of the season for the Bruins before being traded again, this time to the New York Americans. He played the remaining 24 games for New York appearing in all 48 games of the regular season for the third consecutive year.
Montreal Maroons
[edit]After stints in Boston and New York, Gracie found himself back in Canada after his rights were sold to the Montreal Maroons. Maroons' general manager and coach Tommy Gorman put him on a line with newly acquired Gus Marker and sophomore left winger Herb Cain, to form what would later be dubbed the "Green Line." Gracie won the second Stanley Cup of his career in his first season with the Maroons in 1934–35.
Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Black Hawks
[edit]Before the start of the 1938–39 NHL season Gracie was sold to the Canadiens but would only play seven games that year for Montreal when the Chicago Black Hawks purchased his rights. He would split the remainder of the season with Chicago and the Cleveland Barons of the IAHL.
Minor leagues
[edit]In 1944–45, while playing for the Pittsburgh Hornets, Gracie led the American Hockey League in scoring with 95 points, tying for the lead with teammate Bob Walton.
