Daniel Charles "Dan" Maloney (born September 24, 1950 in Barrie , Ontario ; † November 19, 2018 ) was a Canadian ice hockey player and coach . During his professional career, which lasted from 1970 to 1982, the left winger completed over 700 games for the Chicago Black Hawks , Los Angeles Kings , Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League . He then oversaw the Maple Leafs and the Winnipeg Jets as head coach.

Career

As a player

Dan Maloney was born in Barrie and played for the Markham Waxers in his youth . In 1968 he moved to the London Knights in what was then the highest-ranking Ontario Hockey Association , for which he was on the ice for two years before he was selected in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft in 14th place by the Chicago Black Hawks . In the organization of Chicago, however, the left winger stayed just under three seasons, of which he spent the 1971/72 season completely in the Central Hockey League with the Dallas Black Hawks and won the playoffs for the Adams Cup with this farm team . Towards the end of the 1972/73 season, the Chicago Black Hawks gave him to the Los Angeles Kings and received Ralph Backstrom in return .

Maloney also stayed in Los Angeles only briefly, as the Kings gave him in June 1975 together with Terry Harper and their second-round suffrage in the 1976 NHL Amateur Draft to the Detroit Red Wings , who sent Marcel Dionne and Bart Crashley to LA. In his first season in Detroit, the attacker scored 66 points in 77 games, achieving his best personal statistic - with 66 points the previous year for the Kings - and taking part in the 1976 NHL All-Star Game . In the 1977/78 season, Maloney also acted (alternating with Dennis Hextall ) as captain of Detroit.

Nevertheless, the Canadian was transferred to the Toronto Maple Leafs in March 1978 , which in return sent Errol Thompson to Detroit; in addition, several draft options changed hands. With the Maple Leafs, Maloney was active for four more years before he ended his career after the 1981/82 season. In total, he came to 737 missions in the NHL and posted 192 goals with 451 points scorer. Because of his 1489 minute penalty, he is commonly considered an enforcer .

As a trainer

Immediately at the end of his playing career, Maloney took over the position of assistant coach at the Toronto Maple Leafs, which he held for two years until he succeeded Mike Nykoluk as head coach of the Maple Leafs in 1984 . After the 1985/86 season he was fired and immediately employed in the same position by the Winnipeg Jets . Even in Winnipeg, Maloney was only a little more than two years, until he was relieved of his duties during the 1988/89 season and replaced by Rick Bowness . He then worked as an assistant coach for the New York Rangers after a brief hiatus in the 1992/93 season .

Maloney passed away on November 19, 2018 at the age of 68.
