Ted Irvine

Raised in Winnipeg, Ted Irvine moved up through Manitoba junior hockey before breaking into the professional ranks in the 1960s. A left winger by trade, he came through the local junior system and used those seasons as a springboard into pro hockey.

His junior résumé includes being co‑lead goal scorer in the MJHL in 1963 and a spot on the MJHL First All‑Star Team in 1964. He then advanced to the professional minor leagues, where he won CPHL championships in 1966 and 1967, setting the stage for a sustained National Hockey League career.

Irvine played 774 professional games and collected 331 points across a fifteen‑year span. In the NHL he skated for the Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues between 1964 and 1977, most often wearing sweater number 27. Those totals reflect a steady offensive contributor and a dependable presence in the lineup over many seasons.

His tenure with the Rangers is singled out in the book 100 Ranger Greats (2009), which ranks him 74th among the franchise's first 901 players. Provincially, his achievements led to induction as an honoured member of the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.

After his playing days he has appeared publicly on occasion; for example, he was a surprise guest on an episode of AEW Dynamite on November 27, 2019. Overall, Ted Irvine’s profile is that of a long‑serving left winger who combined consistent scoring in juniors and minors with reliable production at the NHL level.
