Terry Caffery

Terrance Michael Caffery (April 1, 1949 – August 3, 2022) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player.

After an impressive junior career with the Toronto Marlboros of the Ontario Hockey Association, during which Caffery was drafted third overall by the Black Hawks in the 1966 NHL Amateur Draft behind Barry Gibbs and Brad Park, he played a season for the Canadian National team.

The following season Caffery signed with the Whalers and met with his greatest success as a pro, scoring 100 points to finish in the WHA's top ten in the loop's inaugural season and proving a key component in the Whalers' league championship that year.

However, he suffered a knee injury late that year that, despite him starring in the playoffs, forced him to miss the entire 1974 season.

His brother was Jack Caffery, a two-sport player who also played minor league baseball in the Milwaukee Braves organization and was credited with inventing the backward grip for faceoffs.
