Darryl Sittler

Darryl Glen Sittler (born September 18, 1950) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League from 1970 until 1985. Born and raised in St. Jacobs, Ontario, he played minor hockey in nearby Elmira and was drafted out of the Junior C Elmira Sugar Kings by the London Nationals, soon renamed the London Knights, where he played under coaches Turk Broda and Bep Guidolin. The Toronto Maple Leafs selected him eighth overall in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft, and he was named team captain on September 10, 1975, following the departure of Dave Keon to the World Hockey Association. Over his fifteen-year career he played for the Maple Leafs, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Detroit Red Wings. On February 7, 1976, Sittler set an NHL record for most points by an individual in one game, scoring ten points—six goals and four assists—against the Boston Bruins; he remains the most recent NHL player to score six goals in a single game. Sittler was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1989, the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2016. In 2017 he was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" in history.
