Tracy Pratt

Tracy Arnold Pratt (born March 8, 1943) is an American-born Canadian former professional ice hockey defenseman who played in the National Hockey League. He was born in New York City, where his father, Hockey Hall of Fame defenseman Babe Pratt, played for the New York Rangers.

Unsigned by any NHL team, Pratt began his junior career in 1960 with the Flin Flon Bombers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. He moved on to the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League in 1962, where he led the team's defensemen in scoring during the playoffs and won the league championship. Signing with the New York Rangers, Pratt turned professional in 1963 with the St. Paul Rangers of the Central Professional Hockey League. He played four seasons in the minors before being selected in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft in the 14th round, 83rd overall, by the California Seals. He made his NHL debut for the renamed Oakland Seals that season, splitting time between the Seals and their Vancouver Canucks farm team, and was one of the two players involved in the check that resulted in Bill Masterton's death that season. Beginning the 1969 season with Vancouver, he was traded mid-season.
