Terry Simpson

Terry Simpson, born on August thirtieth, nineteen forty-three, in Brantford, Ontario, is a distinguished Canadian former professional ice hockey player and a seasoned NHL head coach. His playing career was brief, spanning just one season in nineteen sixty-four to nineteen sixty-five with the Jacksonville Rockets of the Eastern Hockey League.

Transitioning from player to coach, Simpson made a significant impact in junior hockey, dedicating a decade to the Prince Albert Raiders. Under his leadership, the Raiders achieved remarkable success, clinching seven consecutive Anavet Cups and four Manitoba Centennial Cup titles. His coaching prowess was further highlighted when he guided the team to victory in the nineteen eighty-five Memorial Cup championship after their transition to the Western Hockey League.

Simpson's contributions to the sport did not go unnoticed, as the city of Prince Albert honored him by naming the road leading to the Art Hauser Centre "Terry Simpson Lane." His legacy in both playing and coaching continues to inspire future generations of hockey players and coaches alike.
