Lee Fogolin

Leo Fogolin (born February 15, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario), is a retired defenseman who played in the National Hockey League. He played for the Buffalo Sabres and the Edmonton Oilers, appearing in 924 NHL regular season games between 1974 and 1987. He is perhaps the better known Lee Fogolin - his father Lee Fogolin Sr. played for the Detroit Red Wings and won the Stanley Cup in 1950. His son Michael Fogolin played for the Prince George Cougars in the WHL and died in his sleep on May 26, 2004 of a possible heart condition.

Background and early career

Fogolin played from 1972 – 1974 with the Oshawa Generals of the OHA, scoring 52 points in 102 games with 240 PIM. He was drafted in the first round, 11th overall, of the 1974 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres. Although Fogolin was raised in Canada, he was selected to play for Team USA in the 1976 Canada Cup since he was born in Chicago while his father was playing there.

NHL playing career

Fogolin played his first pro season (74–75) in Buffalo, but split the next season between the Sabres and the AHL Hershey Bears. After that he was a Sabre for good, until he was acquired by the Oilers for the 1979–1980 season. He played seven full seasons with Edmonton, and was named as captain for the 1981–82 season. He gave captain position to Wayne Gretzky, 1983–84 season. He won the Stanley Cup in 1984, 1985 Fogolin appeared in the 1986 National Hockey League All-Star Game. He was re-acquired by the Sabres during the 86–87 season, and retired afterwards.
