Terrence M. "Terry" O'Malley (born October 21, 1940 in Toronto , Ontario ) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player and coach.

O'Malley began his career in 1957 as a junior with the Toronto St. Michael's Majors . After the Canadian national ice hockey team was founded in 1963 , O'Malley joined her and took part in the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck . After a defeat against the Soviet team , the team finished fourth. The competition was also the ice hockey world championship. Since the rules of the IIHF apply, according to which only the goals of the teams with the same points counted, Canada became bronze medalists. The following season, O'Malley played for both the national team and the Winnipeg Maroons . Then he concentrated entirely on the national team and was able to win bronze again at the World Championships in 1966 and 1967 . He also achieved third place with the national team at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble .

In 1971 O'Malley moved to Japan, where he played one season for Seibu Tetsudo Tokyo and then until 1978 for the Kokudo Keikaku Ice Hockey Club . In 1979 he moved back to Canada and took part in the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid . There the ice hockey team reached sixth place. After the Winter Games he retired from active sports and worked as a coach at the Sicamous Hockey School in British Columbia until 1992 .
