William Sloan (June 9, 1934 – May 24, 2022) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender who previous had the most career wins in NCAA history.
[1] Bill Sloan arrived in Canton, New York in the fall of 1952, less than 60 miles from his home town, and immediately made the varsity squad at St. Lawrence.
Despite the NCAA's rules limiting athletes to three years of eligibility at the time, the Larries were in need of a goalie and Sloan fit the bill.
They faced one of the best offenses in the nation in the semifinal but Sloan held Colorado College to 2 goals, unfortunately, St. Lawrence could only manage 1 of their own and they were sent to the consolation game.
Unfortunately, because Sloan was in his 4th year of varsity play he was unable to suit up for the Saints during the 1956 tournament and was forced to watch his team finish in 3rd place, though they did receive a valiant effort from backup Sarge Whittier.
