Scoring three goals in a Stanley Cup final is something millions of young hockey players dream about, but few ever achieve. For Freddie Stanfield, the memory is still sharp and the taste still sweet after all those years. It happened in 1970, the first time Freddie Stanfield, Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito and the rests of the Boston Bruins earned a chance to sip the sweet nectar of success out of the most famous of all hockey silverware. Playing against the St. Louis Blues, Stanfield scored a hat trick to play a key role in coach Don Cherry’s Bruins cup caper. Stanfield and the Beantown Bruins brigade went on to bag their second Stanley Cup two years later, defeating the New York Rangers in the 1972 final. Freddie counts the two Stanley Cup victories among the most memorable memories of a 15-year National Hockey League career. Freddie was the sole inductee into the Mississauga Sports Hall of Famefor 1980, a well deserved recognition for a professional career that elevated him to a place among the stars of hockey. Among his accomplishments, apart from the two Stanley Cups, are the NHL Prince of Wales Division titles with both Chicago (1966) and Boston (1970 and’72). A crowd-pleaser Boston Bruins line that consisted of Freddie Stanfield, Johnny Bucyk and John McKenzie, set a playoff record for most points for 1970-’72, which wasn’t broken until the mid 1980s. TheBoston fans thought highly of Freddie and voted him the seventh top player on the 1970 star-studded team. He received a new sports car as a token of their appreciation. Born into a hockey family, Freddie received his early minor league education playing at Dixie Arena. Peel Regional Police Deputy Police Chief Gord Stanfield had seven sons and it seems that one Stanfield or another was always playing hockey at Dixie Arena. It didn’t come as a great shock that the Stanfield brothers, Freddie and Jack, became the first Mississauga family combination to play in the NHL when they both toiled for the Chicago Blackhawks in 1966. Freddie was there for the entire season (Chicago was the first of four NHL teams he played for) and brother Jack was elevated from the Dallas Blackhawks farm team for the playoffs and helped the Windy City side capture the NHL Prince of Wales conference title. Only Freddie remained in the big leagues among the Stanfield brothers the following season and it wasn’t until 1971 that Freddie, having been traded to Boston, was joined in the NHL by another Stanfield brother, Jim, a left-winger who played intermittently with the Los Angeles Kings. |
All in all, during his 15-year NHL pro career, Freddie played for four clubs: Chicago Black Hawks (three years), Boston Bruins (six years), Minnesota North Stars (a year-and-a-half) and Buffalo Sabres (three-and-a-half years). During his 13th NHL campaign when he was 32, Freddie achieved a milestone while playing for Buffalo, he scored his 200th NHL career goal on a breakaway against the Washington Capitals. Following his retirement from the game, Freddie and his family settled in St. Catharines. |
