Career

Ed Sandford began his career in the organization of the Toronto St. Michael's Majors , for whose junior team St. Michael's Buzzers he was active between 1943 and 1945. For the St. Michael's Majors he acted from 1945 and 1947 a league higher in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). During this time he won the Memorial Cup in 1947 with the majors after a final triumph against the Moose Jaw Canucks . In the 1946/47 OHA season, the offensive player also scored 91 points in a total of 36 games . Because of this achievement, he was honored with the Red Tilson Trophy at the end of the season , which is awarded annually to the most valuable player in the OHA.

The player then accepted a contract offer from the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL). Ed Sandford developed into a reliable offensive force for the Bruins, although he could not keep his points quota from the OHA in the NHL. Between 1951 and 1955 he took part in the NHL All-Star Game five times in a row . Ed Sandford had his statistically best playing time in the 1953/54 NHL season , when he was able to score 47 points in 70 games, making him the Bruins' most successful player and eighth-best scorer in the entire National Hockey League at the end of the season. In the 1954/55 season , Sandford was named team captain of the Bruins.

At the beginning of the following season , the winger was part of a swap between the Boston Bruins and the Detroit Red Wings , in which goalkeeper and Hockey Hall of Fame member Terry Sawchuk was transferred to Boston. After four games for the Red Wings, he was given to the Chicago Black Hawks on October 24, 1955 in exchange for Metro Prystai . Ed Sandford completed 57 more games for Chicago and retired after the season.
