Victor Ivan Lynn (January 26, 1925 – December 6, 2010) was a professional ice hockey player in the NHL. He played for all of the NHL's Original Six teams. ==Professional career== In 1943 Lynn played one game for the New York Rangers. In 1944, he fell in with the Detroit Red Wings' organization but failed to impress the team's brass. As such, Lynn was sent to play for the Indianapolis Capitals of the AHL. Several years later, after Lynn had been given the cold shoulder by not only the Wings, but the Montreal Canadiens as well, he landed in Buffalo of the AHL. It was at that time that Toronto Maple Leafs GM Conn Smythe was in search of some fresh talent to spark his sagging club. He got a tip to watch young Lynn as a possible solution to his roster woes. Smythe did just that and ended up bringing the speedster to Toronto. In Toronto, Lynn joined Howie Meeker and Ted Kennedy to form "The K-L-M Line." The trio clicked for three seasons of successful hockey with Stanley Cup victories in 1947, 1948 and 1949. On November 16, 1950, Lynn was traded to the Boston Bruins with Bill Ezinicki for Fernie Flaman, Leo Boivin, Ken Smith and Phil Maloney, where he played for a short time before heading to the minors with the Cleveland Barons of the AHL. Then, in 1953, he got one more shot at the top with the Chicago Black Hawks where he played his final NHL games near the end of the year. His career statistics included 49 goals and 76 assists for 125 points in 327 games.〔(The Internet Hockey Database, Vic Lynn )〕 He also registered 274 penalty minutes.〔(The Internet Hockey Database, Vic Lynn )〕 He is the only player to play for each of the Original Six NHL teams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vic Lynn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
