More about Charles Roy William (Charlie) Huddy:
Born in Scarborough, Ontario on June 2, 1959, he started playing hockey in the Scarborough Minor Hockey Association. He came to Oshawa in 1977 to play junior for the Oshawa Generals. Charlie quickly became a fan favourite. In his rookie year, he made an immediate impact, helping his club rebound from a franchise low of 14 points the previous season to an impressive 72 points. Charlie won the Harold J. Mothersill Award as the team's best defenceman for the 1977-78 season.
Graduating from the Generals in 1979, Charlie played 17 years in the National Hockey League with stops in Edmonton, Los Angeles, Buffalo and St. Louis. He began his N.H.L. career in 1980 with a young Edmonton Oilers Club. Over the next 11 years, he was a mainstay on the Oilers blue line helping them capture five Stanley Cups. During the 1982-83 season, Charlie was the first ever winner of the Emery Edge Award for the top plus/minus player in the N.H.L. with a plus 62.
Charlie retired in 1996 after playing 1,017 regular season and 183 play-off games, and he immediately moved on to a coaching career in professional hockey.
