Untitled[edit]

Shore's play style was copied & perfected by the Red Army team. And, as owner of the Springfield Indians, Shore traded Jake Milford to Buffalo for two hockey nets, & was outraged when he learned they were used... Trekphiler 19:25, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The bit on Coutu is incorrect. Source, 'Net Worth' has a chapter dedicated to Eddie Shore. It's said that Coutu hit Shore hard throughout practice. At one point of the practice, Coutu had the puck and was rushing down the ice. Halfway down the ice he lost control of the puck but continued to skate towards Shore. Eddie Shore prepared himself by crouching low and launching himself at Shore. The impact lifted Coutu (190 pounds versus Shore's 160) off the ice and he was unconcious after hitting the ice. The hit sheared Shore's ear. The team doctor wanted to amputate but he refused and asked several doctors before finding one that would give him stiches.

Alan Eagleson had a legal battle representing the Springfield Indians after they went on strike because of unfair values held against them by the owner Shore. Eagleson winning that case was a huge victory on behalf of players. I would say that battle and Eagleson helping Bobby Orr sign a contract were his starting points

Shore won the Lester B. Patrick Aware in 1970.

Shore's nephew, whom he employed with his Springfield Indians after he returned from WWII was Jack Butterfield. Butterfield later became president of the AHL.

Shore almost bought the Bruins off Charles Adams but it is believed the owners did not want him to have the team. Shore is notoriously known for being a 'scrooge'. He later bought the Springfield Indians and made roughly $100 000 a year, eventually selling the players to the LA Kings owner Jack Cooke in 1966 during the expansion for one million dollars.

Expanding[edit]

There's a ton of info that could (and will) be inserted about this iconic hockey giant, and I'll step to it over the next week. Lots of inline citations to be had ... Ravenswing 19:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with article[edit]

The lead-in states: "Only Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe have won the Hart Trophy more times than Shore. A bruiser known for NHL violence." So I was conclude from that the only reason he won the Hart was due to his violence. And the rest on the article only talks about his violence. The article also says Shore is ranked 10th on the Hockey News' all time list. I can't believe that a predilection for violence is the only reason he was considered so good.

Also, while not part of the article, at the top of this discussion Trekphiler says the Russians copied and perfected by the Russians. While I suspect this is apocryphal, if nothing else it indicates that SOMEONE thinks Shore was more than just violent. BashBrannigan (talk) 17:27, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The lead does mention his "defensive skill", but the article would be better if there was more emphasis on his hockey abilities. If you have some ideas, please make it better.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 18:41, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is the first S in S-SSHL?[edit]

SSHL is the Southern Saskatchewan Hockey League, but what does that first S stand for? It's in the first line of his stats.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 21:32, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed that way on the Hockey Hall of Fame site, which is from where that might have been taken. I'd guess (lacking other notions) that whoever put it on the HHOF site meant it to signify "senior league," but I've no clue either way. I expect it can be safely removed. Ravenswing 04:00, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I believe Ravenswing is correct, I believe it indicates that it was the senior SSHL and not the junior SSHL. -DJSasso (talk) 16:31, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Clancy or Horner?[edit]

About the Ace Bailey incident, I heard from several references that Horner was the one who body checked Shore (including from Horner himself), and not Clancy. Just wondering if we should change this? LatinJoe (talk) 19:45, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
