Irvine Wallace "Ace" Bailey (July 3, 1903 – April 7, 1992) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player.
His playing career ended with a fight he encountered during a game against the Boston Bruins; he was severely injured in the resulting scrum.
Bailey still helped Toronto win the Stanley Cup in 1932, scoring the Cup-winning goal in game 3 of the finals.
[4] This occurred after Maple Leafs teammate King Clancy upended Shore with a hard check as the latter player rushed up the ice.
He coached the University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's ice hockey team from 1935 to 1940 and again after World War II from 1945 to 1949, winning three Canadian Interuniversity Athletics Union championships.
[9] Named in his honour, the Ace Bailey Memorial ice hockey tournament for youth players is held annually in Stoney Creek, Ontario.
