Card Notes
“Mr. Hustle” is a name that well fits Ron’s non-stop style of play. He’s a leader of the Penguins who rarely misses a game due to injuries. Three of Ron’s goals last season proved to be game-winners for Pittsburgh. Now in his fifth season with the Penguins, Ron came out of the Boston organization. He often draws the assignment of guarding the opposition’s big scorer.
En Français
Ron est un gars qui ne se repose jamais sur la glace. C’est un joueur-clé qui manque rarement une partie. La saison dernière, il réussit trois buts gagnants pour les Penguins. Ron, qui commence sa cinquième saison à Pittsburgh, fut formé dans le réseau des Bruins. On lui confie souvent la tâche de surveiller le meilleur compteur de l’équipe adverse.
Details
Ron Schock did have three game winning goals for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1973-74, one each against the California Golden Seals, Philadelphia Flyers and Atlanta Flames. His GWG against the Golden Seals on October 20, 1973 at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena was extra special.
Schock scored at the nine minute mark of the third period to put the Penguins up 4-2 in what would be a 5-3 win. The goal was scored shorthanded with Ron Jones in the box for holding. It was Ron’s only shot on California goalie Marv Edwards in the game.
After playing 128 games with the Boston Bruins between 1963-64 and 1966-67, Schock was picked up by the St. Louis Blues at the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. Despite playing the full 1966-67 NHL season with the Bruins, he appeared in 55 games with St. Louis in that inaugural 1967-68 season, also appearing with the Kansas City Blues in the CHL.
He came to Pittsburgh for the start of the 1969-70 campaign following a June 6, 1969 trade with the Blues that also saw Craig Cameron go to the Penguins in exchange for Lou Angotti and a first round draft pick.
Between 1963-64 and 1977-78, Ron Schock played 909 regular season and 55 playoff games in the National Hockey League with the Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres. His best season came in 1974-75 when he recorded 23 goals and 63 assists for 86 points.
