Dick Duff was a gritty, clutch left wing whose small stature belied his impact on the ice. Over 18 NHL seasons from 1955 to 1972, he tallied 283 goals and 572 points in 1,030 games while winning six Stanley Cups—two with Toronto and four with Montreal.
Standing 5'10" and weighing just 163 lbs, Duff excelled in big moments, famously scoring the Cup-winning goal in 1962 and recording the fastest two-goal start in a playoff game in 1963. He was a force in the postseason, accumulating 30 goals and 79 points in 114 contests.
A seven-time All-Star, he later became a scout and coach, earning induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2006. Known for his relentless drive and postseason heroics, Duff remains one of hockey’s most underrated champions and a true hockey lifer.
