Ed Sandford

Edward Michael Sandford (August 20, 1928 – October 25, 2023) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward.

He played most of his professional career for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League.

Sandford played junior hockey with the St. Michael's Majors and led the team to the Memorial Cup playoffs in 1945-46 and 1946-77.

After eight seasons with the Bruins, Sandford was traded in 1955 in a nine-player deal — the largest in NHL history to that date — to the Detroit Red Wings.

After four games for Detroit, the Wings dealt him to the Chicago Black Hawks, where he finished the season before retiring.
