William Ronald McNeill (January 26, 1936 – August 31, 2007) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player.
In 1956 McNeill was called up to the Detroit Red Wings in the NHL following serious injuries to Alex Delvecchio and Bill Dineen.
[3] In January 1964, McNeill was traded by Detroit to the Vancouver Canucks (of the WHL) for Barrie Ross and future considerations.
He became an enduring star player and perennial fan favourite in the PNE Forum arena, winning the Leader Cup as MVP of the WHL two years' running, in 1965 and 1966.
On August 19, 1969, he was traded by Vancouver to the Salt Lake Golden Eagles for Germain Gagnon and cash.
When I dumped the puck over he shot past (Canadiens' goalie Charlie) Hodge on the short side.
