Rick MacLeish (1967-1970)

Rick played four of his five years of junior hockey in a Petes uniform, including a final season in which he put up 101 points. Rick’s successes led to him being drafted 4^th overall by the Boston Bruins in the 1970 NHL Amateur Draft. Rick was sent to the Philadelphia Flyers in a 3-way deal between Philadelphia, Boston and Toronto and ended up being a main staple in the Philly uniform for 10 seasons. He is well known for being the first ever Flyer to score fifty goals in a season, and for his Stanley Cup winning goal in 1974. In 2016, MacLeish passed away at 66, after battling meningitis, kidney and liver problems.
