Bio--The late Bruce Gamble was just one of a handful of goaltenders from Thunder Bay to play in the National Hockey League.

Gamble made his rise to prominence playing junior hockey starting as a 14-year-old with the Port Arthur West End Bruins in the 1952-53 season. He would go on to tend goal for the powerful Guelph Biltmores of the Ontario Hockey Association where he helped lead them to the 1956-57 OHA championship.

From there Gamble would head west to play for the Vancouver Canucks of the old Western Hockey League where he would garner WHL coast division rookie of the year laurels in 1958-59. He would also be named a WHL coast division second team all-star.

Gamble would also make his NHL debut that same season playing two games for the New York Rangers. He would then get claimed by the Boston Bruins the following seasons spending a year and a half in the American Hockey League with the Providence Reds.

He would go on to play 80 games for the Bruins from 1960-'62 and would not return to the NHL again until the 1965 campaign with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It was with the Leafs Gamble would tend goal for the most of his NHL career. He was between the pipes for Toronto for a total 210 games.

Gamble would round out his playing career in 1972 with the Philadelphia Flyers.

In 327 NHL contests Gamble would record 110 wins including 22 shutouts. 19 of those were with the Leafs putting him in a tie for fifth all-time in club history.
