Timeline

1924

Norman Robert "Bud" Poile (February 10, 1924 – January 4, 2005) was a professional ice hockey player, coach, general manager, and league executive.

Bud was the brother of Don Poile, and the father of David Poile.

Poile was born in Fort William, Ontario, and played junior hockey for the Fort William Rangers.

1942

He began his professional career in 1942 as an 18-year-old right winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs and—after a break in his career to serve in the Second World War—was a member of the Leafs' Stanley Cup-winning team of 1947.

The next season, he was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks in a multi-player deal for Max Bentley.

A year later he was dealt to the Detroit Red Wings.

1949

Before the 1949–50 season he was acquired by the New York Rangers and was traded mid-season to the Boston Bruins, which would be his final stop in the NHL.

1950

Poile would spend five more years playing in minor professional leagues as a player-coach, first for the Tulsa Oilers of the United States Hockey League in 1950–51.

1951

He then rejoined the Red Wings organization in 1951–52 as player coach of the Red Wings' Maritime Major Hockey League affiliate, the Glace Bay Miners.

1952

He moved up to the Wings' Western Hockey League affiliate, the Edmonton Flyers, in 1952–53.

He retired as a player in 1954, but would continue to coach the Flyers until 1962.

1962

Poile then became head coach of the San Francisco Seals from 1962 to 1966.

1967

With the NHL expansion in 1967, Poile became general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, acquiring key members of the team that would win the Stanley Cup in the 1970s.

1970

In 1970, Poile became general manager of another NHL expansion team, the Vancouver Canucks, building that club until leaving in 1973 to join the World Hockey Association as executive vice-president.

1976

He left the WHA in May 1976.

In August 1976, Poile became president of the Central Hockey League.

1983

1989

The CHL wound down its operations at the end of that season, and Poile continued in his role with the IHL until retiring in 1989.

The first was the N.R. "Bud" Poile Trophy of the International Hockey League, awarded from 1989 to 2001 to the most valuable player of the Turner Cup Playoffs.

The second is the Norman R. "Bud" Poile Trophy of the American Hockey League, awarded to the team that finishes the regular season with the best record in the Western Conference.
