Autry Erickson

Autry Raymond Erickson (January 25, 1938 – August 21, 2010) was a professional ice hockey defenseman who appeared in 226 NHL games across parts of four teams. He broke into the league with the Chicago Black Hawks before joining the Boston Bruins in 1959–60, where he spent two seasons as a steady defensive blueliner. A 1965 multi-player trade sent him to the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he appeared in three playoff games during the 1967 Stanley Cup championship run. He later became an original member of the expansion Oakland Seals. Erickson died in August 2010 following a battle with cancer.
