Peter "Pete" Backor (Born April 29, 1919 in Fort William, Ontario - Died June 30, 1988) was a professional hockey defenceman who played briefly for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the NHL.

Career

Although he played just a single season in the NHL, Backor made it count as he helped the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup in 1945. After that season he spent the next 11 years playing in the minor leagues for the Pittsburgh Hornets of the AHL with whom he won the Calder Cup in 1952, the Hollywood Wolves of the PCHL and the Sault Ste.
