Lorne Davis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorne Austin Davis (b. July 30, 1930 in Regina, Sask.) is an ice hockey scout for the National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers, and a former right winger with four NHL teams. Davis spent most of his fifteen-year pro career playing for minor-league teams, with occasional call-ups to the Montreal Canadiens -- with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 1953 -- Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, and Boston Bruins. In 1964-65, he player-coached the Muskegon Zephyrs of the International Hockey League. After his retirement, he went on to coach his former junior team, the Western Hockey League's Regina Pats, before becoming a scout for the Oilers. He received five more Stanley Cup rings for his work as a scout with the dynasty Oilers, and remains employed by the club as of 2006.
