Alex Peter Delvecchio, born December 4, 1931 in Thunder Bay, Ontario is a former ice hockey player and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Delvecchio played center and left wing for the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League for twenty-two full seasons and parts of two others, and was notable for his spot on the Production Line with linemates Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay. No player in NHL history played more games with just the one team. One of the true gentlemen in the game of hockey, he was a three time winner of the Lady Byng Trophy for combining good sportsmanship with excellence on the ice. Following his retirement as a player in 1973, Delvecchio served as Detroit's head coach and then as General Manager, until leaving hockey in 1977 to go into business. He was named to the Hockey Hall of Fame in that year. == Achievements and Facts == * Won three Stanley Cups with Detroit, in 1952, 1954 and 1955. * Delvecchio did not learn to skate until he was twelve years old, a remarkably late age for a NHL player, never mind a star. * Named a Second Team All-Star in 1953 (at center) and 1959 (at left wing). * Played in thirteen All-Star games. * Served as team captain for twelve years, a mark surpassed only in Wings' history by Steve Yzerman. * Remains 8th all time in games played and 27th in points scored. ==External link== *[http://www.hockeysandwich.com/delvecchio.html Alex Delvecchio] 1932 births Canadian ice hockey players Hockey Hall of Fame Italian-Canadians Ontario sportspeople
