'''Dave Chambers''' (born May 7, 1940) is a [[Canadians|Canadian]] former [[ice hockey]] coach. Chambers coached the [[Quebec Nordiques]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL) from 1990 until 1991.

Born in [[Leaside|Leaside, Ontario]], Chambers played junior hockey in the [[Ontario Hockey Association]] with the [[Guelph Biltmores]] and [[Toronto St. Michael's Majors]], university hockey with the [[University of Toronto]] and [[University of British Columbia]], and senior hockey before moving on to coaching.

With the early development of the Canadian National team, Chambers coached at the [[University of Saskatchewan]] and the [[University of Guelph]] before landing a coaching job at [[Ohio State Buckeyes men's ice hockey|Ohio State University]] for two seasons from 1970 to 1972. He left Ohio State to coach at [[York University]] in his native Toronto. He is the winningest coach in Ohio State history by winning percentage and won the CCHA championship in 1972. At York University, his teams won three division championships, three Ontario Championships, and one Canadian championship. His university coaching record over 14 years was 334 wins, 110 losses for a winning percentage of .750 and it included three coach of the year awards. He later took a position behind the bench of the junior league [[Toronto Marlboros]] and won the OHL [[Matt Leyden Trophy]] coach of the year award in 1980.<ref>[http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=881 http://www.scout.com/2/1276954.html]</ref> He was coach of the gold medal-winning Canadian team at the [[1988 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships]] in [[Moscow]]. Chambers served as an assistant coach with the [[Minnesota North Stars]] and then was the head coach of the [[Quebec Nordiques]] from [[1990–91 NHL season|1990]] to [[1991–92 NHL season|1991]] in the NHL.

Chambers was inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame at York University in 2006 and the University of British Columbia in 2012.
