Fleming Mackell

Fleming David Mackell (April 30, 1929 – October 19, 2015) was a Canadian ice hockey forward whose National Hockey League career spanned 13 seasons. After a stage with St. Michael's, the Toronto Maple Leafs' OHA affiliate, he began his NHL career with the Maple Leafs in 1948. He won Stanley Cups with Toronto in 1949 and 1951.

Following his second championship, Mackell was traded by Toronto to the Boston Bruins in exchange for young defenceman Jim Morrison. He spent the majority of his career in Boston, where he attained NHL First All-Star Team status at centre for the 1952–53 season, playing on a line with Ed Sanford and Johnny Peirson. That same year he won the Elizabeth C. Dufresne Trophy, awarded annually to the outstanding Bruins player on Boston Garden home ice. He was named an alternate captain of the Bruins in 1955 and became a mainstay and catalyst of Boston's prolific offence of the late 1950s. In 1956–57 he centred a line that included veteran iron man Cal Gardner.

Mackell retired following the 1960 season. Over his career he played for two Stanley Cup winners.
