Max Kaminsky (April 19, 1912 – May 5, 1961) was a Canadian ice hockey centre. He played four seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Ottawa Senators, St. Louis Eagles, Boston Bruins, and Montreal Maroons between 1933 and 1937. After that he spent ten seasons in the International American Hockey League/American Hockey League (AHL), and retired in 1945. After finishing his playing career Kaminsky coached the Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL for several years, and then the St. Catharines Teepees of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), winning the Memorial Cup in 1960 before dying of cancer later that year.
