Lawrence Northcott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lawrence "Baldy" Northcott (Born September 7, 1908 in Calgary, Alberta -- Died November 6, 1986) was a professional ice hockey player in the National Hockey League.
He played ten seasons for the Montreal Maroons from 1928–29 to 1937–38 and one season for the Chicago Black Hawks in 1938–39. He got the nickname "Baldy" when he beat Toronto's Harold "Baldy" Cotton in a fight. He achieved all-star status in 1932–33 when he played on a line with Jimmy Ward and Hooley Smith. In 1935, he scored the winning goal in two playoff games as the Maroons won the Stanley Cup. Northcott was a big and scrappy player who did not hesitate to pile into the opposition. After the Maroons folded, he played one season for Chicago and then retired.
