|||

Ross Robertson Cup]] (OHL), [[George Richardson Memorial Trophy]] over [[Hockey Quebec|Quebec Amateur Hockey Association]] Champion [[Quebec Frontenacs]] for the Eastern Canada Championship, and then the [[1954 Memorial Cup]] as Canadian Junior Hockey Champions over [[Edmonton Oil Kings (WCHL)|Edmonton Oil Kings]]. This was the Teepees first Memorial Cup, but not for Edwards; the previous spring, he was added to the [[1953 Memorial Cup]] roster for the [[Barrie Flyers]], replacing an injured Bill Harrington, and he led this team to victory over the [[St. Boniface Canadiens]]. |

|||
In 1958-59, he went to [[North Bay, Ontario]] o play for the short-lived North Bay Trappers. |
|||
The defending [[Allan Cup]] champions [[Belleville McFarlands]] required an additional goalie for the [[1959 Ice Hockey World Championships]], and Edwards took the position; the team won the Gold. |
|||
The following year, he turned professional, and began a minor league career, that led up to the NHL Expansion. |
|||
Edwards started his [[National Hockey League]] career with the [[Pittsburgh Penguins]] in [[1967–68 NHL season|1968]] after playing for several seasons with the [[Nashville Dixie Flyers]] of the [[Eastern Hockey League]], where in his best season he led that circuit with 15 [[shutout]]s. He also later played with the [[Toronto Maple Leafs]] and [[California Golden Seals]]. |
|||
He retired after the [[1973–74 NHL season|1973–74 season]], at the age of 41. |
|||
He later served as a goaltender coach with the [[Ontario Hockey League|OHL]] [[Peterborough Petes]] in the 1990s. |
|||

|||
Edwards died on May 20, 2023, at the age of 88.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/marv-edwards-remembered-for-perseverance-on-long-winding-road-to-nhl/c-344533290|title=Edwards remembered for perseverance on long, winding road to NHL|last=Stubbs|first=Dave|publisher=NHL.com|date=May 23, 2023|access-date=May 23, 2023}}</ref> |

Marvin Wayne Edwards (August 15, 1934 – May 20, 2023) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender. He played 61 games in the National Hockey League with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, and California Golden Seals between 1969 and 1974. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1955 to 1974, was spent in various minor leagues, professional and amateur. Internationally, Edwards played for Canada "Belleville McFarlands" at the 1959 World Championships, winning a gold medal.
Playing career
[edit]Junior
[edit]Edwards was born in St. Catharines, Ontario and played with local teams before joining the Ontario Hockey Association's St. Catharines Teepees from 1951 to 1955, culminating with a triple win of the J. Ross Robertson Cup (OHL), George Richardson Memorial Trophy over Quebec Amateur Hockey Association Champion Quebec Frontenacs for the Eastern Canada Championship, and then the 1954 Memorial Cup as Canadian Junior Hockey Champions over Edmonton Oil Kings. This was the Teepees first Memorial Cup, but not for Edwards; the previous spring, he was added to the 1953 Memorial Cup roster for the Barrie Flyers, replacing an injured Bill Harrington, and he led this team to victory over the St. Boniface Canadiens.
Senior
[edit]Edwards moved into the OHL Senior ranks in Chatham, Ontario playing with the Chatham Maroons. In his rookie season, he lost the Allan Cup to Vernon Canadians, and remained another season, before moving to the nearby Windsor Bulldogs. In 1958-59, he went to North Bay, Ontario o play for the short-lived North Bay Trappers. The defending Allan Cup champions Belleville McFarlands required an additional goalie for the 1959 Ice Hockey World Championships, and Edwards took the position; the team won the Gold.
The following year, he turned professional, and began a minor league career, that led up to the NHL Expansion.
Edwards started his National Hockey League career with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1968 after playing for several seasons with the Nashville Dixie Flyers of the Eastern Hockey League, where in his best season he led that circuit with 15 shutouts. He also later played with the Toronto Maple Leafs and California Golden Seals. He retired after the 1973–74 season, at the age of 41.
He later served as a goaltender coach with the OHL Peterborough Petes in the 1990s.
Death
[edit]Edwards died on May 20, 2023, at the age of 88.[1]
