Rick MacLeish

Richard George MacLeish (January 3, 1950 – May 30, 2016) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played 14 seasons in the National Hockey League with the Philadelphia Flyers, Hartford Whalers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Detroit Red Wings. He played minor hockey in Cannington, Ontario, and competed at the 1962 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with his youth team. He played junior hockey with the Peterborough Petes from 1967 to 1970, after which the Boston Bruins selected him fourth overall in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft. He spent the first half of his initial professional season with the Oklahoma City Blazers before being involved in a three-way deal that sent him, Bruce Gamble, Dan Schock, and a first-round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers; Bernie Parent and a second-round pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs; and Mike Walton to Boston. MacLeish spent the rest of the 1970–71 season with the Flyers, scoring two goals and four assists. He went on to play 12 seasons in Philadelphia and won the Stanley Cup twice with the Flyers, in 1974 and 1975. His 53 goals in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the Flyers is a franchise record that he shares with Bill Barber.
