Details
Gary Dornhoefer would only play ten games with the Boston Bruins in 1965-66, his last with the club. He spent the entire 1966-67 season in the American Hockey League with the Hershey Bears. His NHL career took off after he was taken by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 14th round of the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft, 81st overall.
His time in Boston consisted of 62 games over three years. His only 12 goals with the club came in his first year. Perhaps his best game with the Bruins was on January 25, 1964 when Boston walked into the Montreal Forum and shocked the Habs and their fans with a 6-0 win. Dornhoefer had three points in the game, scoring a pair of goals on Charlie Hodge. He also assisted on a Murray Oliver goal.
Between 1963-64 and 1977-78, Gary Dornhoefer played 787 regular season and 80 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers. The two time Stanley Cup champion had five 20+ goal seasons and had a career best 30 with the Flyers in 1972-73.
