Bill Mosienko

William Mosienko (November 2, 1921 – July 9, 1994) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played right wing for 14 seasons in the National Hockey League. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, he was one of 13 children of Daniel and Natalia Mosienko, Ukrainian immigrants from Ekaterinoslav. He spent his entire NHL career with the Chicago Black Hawks, from 1942 to 1955.

Mosienko is best known for recording the fastest hat trick in NHL history. In a 1952 game against the New York Rangers, he scored three goals in 21 seconds. In 1945 he won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy as the league's most gentlemanly player. He played in five All-Star Games and was twice named to the second All-Star team.

He left the NHL in 1955 to help bring professional hockey to his hometown of Winnipeg, where he helped create the Winnipeg Warriors of the Western Hockey League. Over four years of play in the league he was a three-time All-Star and won the league championship in 1956.

Mosienko was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1965 and into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame and Museum in 1980.
