Claude LaForge (July 1, 1936 – May 4, 2015) was a Canadian ice hockey player who spent parts of three decades in professional hockey. After stints with the Shawinigan Falls Cataractes of the QHL and the Cincinnati Mohawks of the IHL, he earned a spot on the QHL Second All-Star Team in 1958. LaForge reached the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, and Philadelphia Flyers between 1958 and 1968, though the bulk of his career — which ran from 1957 to 1973 — was spent in the American Hockey League with clubs including the Hershey Bears and Pittsburgh Hornets.
