| - He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1970. In 1998, he was ranked number 99 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players. Despite a long (21 year) NHL hockey career, Gadsby never won the Stanley Cup. He came closest to winning the Cup in his final season, when Detroit Red Wings lost a 6-game final series to the Montreal Canadiens. Gadsby started out with the junior Edmonton Canadians in 1944-45 for two seasons. then was signed by the Chicago Black Hawks. He made the big team in 1946-47 after only 12 teams in the minors. He played with Chicago until 1954, when he was traded to the New York Rangers for Allan Stanley. With New York he was on the NHL 1st All Star team three times (1956,1958,1959) and the second team once (1957). He also set a record for assists by a defenceman (46 in 1958-59). The Rangers traded him to Detroit in 1961 after a 1959 trade fell through. Gadsby had the bad luck to play with some terrible teams during most of his career which resulted in his playing in only 67 playoff games in his 20 year career. During the regular seasons, he scored 130 goals and 438 assists in 1248 games. He also had 1539 penalty minutes. After retiring in 1966, Gadsby coached the Red Wings in 1968-69 but missed the playoffs. He was fired two games into the next season.
