Lorne William Bell Carr (July 2, 1910 — June 9, 2007) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers, New York Americans, and Toronto Maple Leafs between 1933 and 1946. He won the Stanley Cup twice with Toronto, in 1942 and in 1945.[1]

Profession career

[edit]

Carr began his career in 1930 with the Vancouver Lions of the Pacific Coast Hockey League. He next played for the Buffalo Bisons of the International Hockey League. In 1934 Carr signed with the New York Rangers. After one season with the Rangers, Carr signed with the rival New York Americans, with whom he played for the following seven seasons.[1]

In 1941, Carr was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Red Heron, Nick Knott, Gus Marker and cash. It was with Toronto that he enjoyed his most success as a player. In 1942 he won his first Stanley Cup Championship, when his team, down three games to zero, won four straight against the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals, winning the championship. Carr played another four seasons with the Maple Leafs, winning a second Stanley Cup Championship in 1945. He ended his playing career after the 1946 season.[2]

Post-playing career

[edit]

Following his retirement, Carr moved to Calgary, Alberta, and opened the Amylorne Motel. The motel featured an 18-hole golf course and a driving range. He also co-owned a Calgary poolroom with Calgary native and former New York American Fred Hergerts.
