# Ed Chadwick

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 substitute for injured future Hall of Famer Harry Lumley. Over the next two seasons, he played 140 consecutive regular season games for the Leafs, which is still a team record. His playing time shrank in the next two seasons and he was shipped down to the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. He played only four more NHL games, as a member of the Boston Bruins in 1961–62. He spent the remainder of his playing days in the AHL, first for the Hershey Bears, and then the Buffalo Bisons before retiring in 1968.

## Later life and death

Later he became a scout for the Edmonton Oilers, with whom he won five Stanley Cup rings and his name appeared on the Stanley Cup in 1985, 1987, and 1990.
Chadwick died in Fort Erie, Ontario on April 23, 2024, at the age of 90.
