He was teammates for a time with his brother, Ed Bruneteau and later coached him on the Omaha Knights.
A rookie, he had been called up to the Red Wings just two weeks earlier and was still trying to adjust to the pace of the NHL when he was thrown into his first playoff series.
Bruneteau batted a rolling puck past Maroons' goalie Lorne Chabot for the decisive score.
Detroit swept the series versus the Maroons in three straight games and went on to win the Stanley Cup.
