Baldy Northcott

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lawrence "Baldy" Northcott (Born September 7, 1908 in Calgary, Alberta -- Died November 7, 1986) was a professional ice hockey player in the National Hockey League.

He played ten seasons for the Montreal Maroons from 1928-29 to 1937-38 and one season for the Chicago Black Hawks in 1938-39. He got the nickname "Baldy" when he beat Toronto's Harold "Baldy" Cotton in a fight. He achieved all-star status in 1932-33 when he played on a line with Jimmy Ward and Hooley Smith. In 1935, he scored the winning goal in two playoff games as the Maroons won the Stanley Cup. Northcott was a big and scrappy player who did not hesitate to pile into the opposition. After the Maroons folded, he played one season for Chicago and then retired.
