Gary Dornhoefer Gerhardt Otto Dornhofer ( born February 2 , 1943 in Kitchener , Ontario ) , better known as Gary Dornhoefer , is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player , known for winning two Stanley Cup s with the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League in 1973 - 74 , and 1974 - 75 . Playing career . After playing his junior hockey with the Niagara Falls Flyers of the Ontario Hockey Association , Dornhoefer made his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins in the 1964 season , playing in 32 games , scoring twelve goals and ten assists . After that promising start , he was little used by Boston thereafter and spend most of the next three seasons in the minor leagues , principally with the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League . Philadelphia Flyers . Dornhoefer was left unprotected in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft . The Philadelphia Flyers selected him with the 13th pick overall , and he would never play with another team . In that first year with Philadelphia , Dornhoefer scored 13 goals and 43 points while accumulating 134 penalty minutes and gaining a reputation as a hard hitting , grinding left winger with a touch for scoring . Two seasons later he reached the 20 - goal plateau for the first time , a mark he would achieve in five seasons . In 1973 he had his best season , scoring 30 goals and 49 assists for 79 points and being named to play in the All - Star Game . The most famous play of his career came in the 1973 Stanley Cup playoffs when he scored a crucial overtime goal against the Minnesota North Stars on a solo rush . The goal was memorialized on a statue at the Wachovia Spectrum , which will close in 2009 . As of this moment , it is unsure what will happen to the statue . Although hampered by injuries throughout his career in consequence of his bruising style , Dornhoefer remained an effective scorer through his penultimate season , and was named to play in the All - Star Game again in 1977 after finishing the regular season with a + 47 plus / minus mark . The season thereafter , missing nearly half the season through injury , his scoring touch disappeared completely , and he retired after the 1978 playoffs . Dornhoefer played in 787 games over 14 seasons , scoring 214 goals and 328 assists for 542 points , adding 1291 penalty minutes . At the time of his retirement he was second only to Bobby Clarke as the team ' s all time leading scorer , and still ranks tenth in that category . His eleven seasons with Philadelphia are surpassed only by Clarke , Bill Barber and Rick MacLeish , and on a team iconic for its brawling ways , Dornhoefer is eighth in franchise penalty minutes . Retirement . After his retirement following the 1977 – 1978 season , Gary quickly moved to broadcasting . Gary worked a short time in Philadelphia locally , then moved back to his native Ontario , Canada to work on " Hockey Night In Canada " as a color commentator from 1978 – 1986 . After a six year hiatus from broadcasting , Gary moved back to Philadelphia in 1992 and joined the Flyers broadcast team , originally working with beloved late play - by - play man Gene Hart . He served as a Flyers color analyst through the 2005 – 06 NHL season and is now one of the team ' s Ambassadors of Hockey .
