George Henry Abbott (August 3, 1911 – December 31, 1996) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who played in one National Hockey League game for the Boston Bruins during the 1943–44 NHL season.
Abbott was the practice goaltender for the Toronto Maple Leafs as well as a minister.
He played for the Dunnville Mudcats before his career ended during a practice session with the Hamilton Tigers when a deflected puck struck him in the eye.
Bruins coach Art Ross borrowed Abbott to play for the night.
[1][2] Abbott was known as "The Preacher," as he became a Baptist minister after giving up hockey after his injury.
