Bep Guidolin

Armand "Bep" Guidolin (December 9, 1925 – November 24, 2008) was a Canadian ice hockey player and coach.

The Boston Bruins were in dire need of replacements to fill the roster holes created by so many players leaving for military service.

Armand was an ardent supporter of the formation of a players' union, which led to the early demise of his NHL career in 1952.

In 1965 he became the coach of his former junior team the Oshawa Generals, featuring 17-year-old future Hockey Hall of Fame defenceman Bobby Orr.

Guidolin also coached the Timmins Northstars of the Northland Intermediate Hockey League which went on to the Hardy Cup Finals for the All Canadians.

He also coached a Junior C team for a short time out of Angus Ontario known as the Essa 80s at the end of his career.
