Eddie Mio

Eddie Mio (born January 31, 1954, in Windsor, Ontario) was a professional ice hockey goaltender in the WHA and NHL and is currently Director of Player Development for the Phoenix Coyotes.
Over his NHL career, he compiled a record of 64 wins, 70 losses and 30 ties and a 4.06 goals against average over 192 games played with the Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers and Detroit Red Wings.
==Playing Career==
Eddie Mio put himself on the map of professional hockey when he agreed to attend Colorado College from 1972–76. During that time, he established himself as a standout, winning first- and second-team all-star awards and making the NCAA West first all-American team two years in a row.
In 1974, the NHL's Blackhawks and the Blazers of the WHA drafted him. He played for neither club, wending his way instead through the minor leagues with Tidewater, Erie, and Hampton until he surfaced with the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA.
With the Racers, Mio's goaltending was rough, but the most meaningful event of his career occurred when he befriended his life-long pal, Wayne Gretzky. Shortly after their meeting, Mio was part of the trade that sent Wayne Gretzky (along with Peter Driscoll) to the Oilers.
In Alberta, Mio got his first NHL action during the days of the Oilers' transition from an old WHA club to a young, highly talented lineup that included Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, Gretzky, Glenn Anderson and Paul Coffey. Mio had his first winning season in 1980–81 before being traded to the Rangers.
In New York, Mio backstopped the Rangers for two seasons before rounding out his career with the Red Wings in 1985–86.
==Post-hockey==
Eddie was Wayne Gretzky's best man at his wedding to Janet Jones. Currently, he is the Director of Player Development for the Phoenix Coyotes. Prior to being hired by the Coyotes, Mio was a player agent with International Management Group, representing Sergei Fedorov, Joe Thornton and Brent Johnson.
