Ron Stackhouse

Ronald Lorne Stackhouse (born August 26, 1949) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played in the National Hockey League through 1982. Born in Haliburton, Ontario, he began his career with the Peterborough Petes under Roger Neilson in the OHA, earning a spot on the OHA Second All-Star Team in 1969. That year he was drafted 18th overall by the Oakland Seals in the 1969 NHL Amateur Draft.

Stackhouse lasted only a few seasons with the Seals before being traded to the Detroit Red Wings in 1971. His career took shape after he joined the Pittsburgh Penguins early in 1974. The following season he tied an NHL record with six assists in a single game by a defenceman, set in March 1975, and in the same month tied the record for four assists in one period. He went on to post seasons of 60 and 71 points and played in the NHL All-Star Game in 1980.

Stackhouse remained with the Penguins until 1982, when he retired from hockey and returned to live in Haliburton, where he taught at Haliburton Highlands Secondary School.
