Joseph Kelly Ironstone (June 28, 1898 – December 15, 1972) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player.
[2] Ironstone asked for double the contract rate for the game, an offer which was accepted by the Leafs' owner Conn Smythe.
However, Smythe informed Ironstone that would be the last game he would ever play in the NHL, which ultimately was the case.
[1] He returned to the Can-Pro league in 1928–29, and played for numerous teams until 1931, when he retired from hockey temporarily.
After leaving ice hockey, Ironstone returned to the family business, a men's wear store started by his father Hyman.
