'''Charles Frederick Burns''' (February 14, 1936 – November 5, 2021) was an American-born Canadian professional [[ice hockey]] [[forward (ice hockey)|forward]] who played 749 games in the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) with the [[Detroit Red Wings]], [[Boston Bruins]], [[California Golden Seals|Oakland Seals]], [[Pittsburgh Penguins]], and [[Minnesota North Stars]] between 1958 and 1973. He later worked as the [[coach (sports)|head coach]] of Minnesota in both 1970 and 1974–75. Burns was mainly known for being an excellent skater, playmaker and defensive player who performed checking and penalty-killing. His trademark was the heavily padded helmet that he was forced to wear after suffering a serious head injury while playing junior hockey in 1954–55. |
