Gordon Haidy

Who was Gordon Haidy?

Gordon Adam "Gord" Haidy was a professional ice hockey player who played right wing, shooting right. He was born in Windsor, Ontario. Gordon played only one game, in the semi-finals, for the Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings in 1950. Haidy's name was not included on the Stanley Cup, because he was not a regular member of the Red Wings. He did qualified to be on the cup, and so the NHL credits him with winning one Stanley Cup. Haidy never played the another game in the NHL but played for several more years in the minors and at the senior hockey level for the Ontario Hockey League. Haidy is one of only three players who played their only NHL game in the playoffs for a Stanley Cup winning team. Haidy and his teammate Doug McKay accomplished the same feat of the winning both the Calder Cup and Stanley Cup in the same season.
