Wayne Hillman

Wayne James Hillman (November 13, 1938 – November 24, 1990) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Chicago Black Hawks, New York Rangers, Minnesota North Stars and Philadelphia Flyers between 1961 and 1973, and then in the World Hockey Association (WHA) with the Cleveland Crusaders from 1973 to 1975.

Playing career

He was born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and was the younger brother of defenceman Larry Hillman and defenceman Floyd Hillman, and was the uncle of former NHL forward Brian Savage.

Hillman played in one game during the 1961 Stanley Cup Finals for Chicago on April 16, 1961, so his name was engraved on the Stanley Cup with the rest of the team.

Hillman died of cancer on November 24, 1990.
