Doug Barkley

Norman Douglas Barkley (born January 6, 1937) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played 253 NHL games with the Chicago Black Hawks and Detroit Red Wings between 1957 and 1966, recording 24 goals and 80 assists for 104 career points. His playing career ended abruptly on January 30, 1966, when a stick from Chicago's Doug Mohns struck him in the right eye, leaving him permanently blind in that eye. Barkley later coached the Red Wings in two stints (1970–71 and 1975–76) and served as color commentator for the Calgary Flames from 1980 to 2001.
