Eddie Shack
Edward Steven Phillip Shack (February 11, 1937 – July 25, 2020), also known by the nicknames "the Entertainer" and "the Nose", was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played for six National Hockey League teams from 1959 to 1975. He spent eight-and-a-half seasons of his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs with the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup four of those seasons; 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1967.
Shack was born in Sudbury, Ontario, on February 11, 1937. He was the younger of two children of Bill and Lena Shack, who were immigrants from Ukraine. As a child, he struggled in school due to illnesses between first and third grade that hampered his attendance. Consequently, he stayed illiterate and eventually dropped out altogether. He became a butcher, but left his job to try out with the Guelph Biltmores hockey club, knowing he could return to the trade if hockey did not pan out as a career.
