Playing career | 1952–1968 |
Edwin Walter Chadwick (May 8, 1933 – April 23, 2024) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins between 1955 and 1962. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1952 to 1968, was spent in various minor leagues.
Playing career
Chadwick started his NHL career in the 1955–56 season by playing five games for the Toronto Maple Leafs as a replacement for injured future-hall-of-famer Harry Lumley. Over the next two seasons Chadwick would play 140 consecutive regular season games, which is still a Leafs team record. However Chadwick's success in the NHL was short-lived, as his playing time dropped off and he was shipped down to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. Chadwick only managed to play four more NHL games, as a member of the Boston Bruins in 1961–62. Chadwick would play the remainder of his days in the AHL, first for the Hershey Bears, and then the Buffalo Bisons before retiring in 1968.
Later life and death
Sometime after he retired from playing he became a scout for the Edmonton Oilers. He won 5 Stanley Cups rings with them 1984–85–87–88–90, and his name was put on the Stanley Cup 1985, 1987, and 1990.
Chadwick died in Fort Erie, Ontario on April 23, 2024, at the age of 90.[1][2][3]
