Ralph Klassen
Ralph L. Klassen (born September 15, 1955, in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, and raised in Muenster, Saskatchewan) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played 497 games in the National Hockey League.
==Junior Hockey Career==
Klassen forged his early hockey career in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada, where, as a very talented young player with exceptional skating ability, he entered the major junior hockey ranks in the Western Canadian Hockey League at the age of 15. In major junior hockey in Canada, the majority of players are in the much older, bigger, 18–20-year-old age group. Consequently, it is rare for a 15-year-old player to play at that level of hockey. Major junior hockey in Canada, unlike the United States or Europe, is an entry point for players to potentially play professionally, as 19- and 20-year-old players become eligible to be drafted by professional teams, primarily in the National Hockey League. Many junior players make the jump to the NHL or its minor league affiliates readily after their junior careers are over.
Current Canadian Hockey Association rules prohibit players at age 15 from playing in the major junior hockey leagues, unless they are deemed "exceptional"; very few, if any, at 15 years of age, currently play in the CHL's major junior ranks. Even in the 1970s it was unusual for 15-year-old players to play at such a high level, but Klassen's hard skating, size and stick-handling skills were the pivotal factors to break into, and play consistently in, an established league such as the Western Canadian Hockey League (WCHL), with much older, experienced players.
Klassen played his entire major junior career with the Saskatoon Blades of the WCHL, where, as a forward rotating between the center and left-wing positions, he skated for five seasons. He posted his highest scoring production as a junior with the Blades at 77 total points including 23 goals, in 1973–74. He captained the Blades in 1974–75, and played for the National Canadian team at the World Junior Hockey Championships, where Canada won a silver medal in 1975. Klassen played 300 games for the Blades, second only to Fred Williams, who holds the distinction of playing the most games for the team in its history, at 319 games.
