ed chadwick, 1933—2024

Sorry to be seeing news today of the death of former Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ed Chadwick at the age of 90. Born in Fergus, Ontario, on May 8, 1933, he made his NHL debut in February of 1956 at the age of 22, when he stood into the Toronto net as a replacement for an injured Harry Lumley. Chadwick held the powerful Montreal Canadiens to a 1-1 tie that night. The following night he came up with the same result against the Boston Bruins. He went on to play in parts of five seasons with the Leafs, including a run of 140 consecutive games between 1956 and 1958. His last NHL season was 1961-62, when he was a member of the Boston Bruins. Ed Chadwick went on to serve as a scout for the Edmonton Oilers, and as such he was in on five Stanley Cups between 1984 and 1990.

  1. Sad News. One of the first hockey cards I had was one of him that belonged to my older brother.

  2. When Chad’s wife’s health took a bad turn, he wanted to slow down his scouting commitment. I was relocated to Ontario from Edmonton in September of ‘97 to fill his full time role while he continued though closer to home . He was a mentor a friend and the kindest man I ever met.
