Morris Stefaniw

Morris Alexander Stefaniw (born January 10, 1948 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan) is a retired professional ice hockey centreman. During the 1972–73 season, he appeared in 13 games for the NHL's Atlanta Flames. His lone NHL goal was the first goal in Flames' history, during a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on the 7th of October, 1972.^[1]

After his stint with the Flames, they sent him down to the Nova Scotia Voyageurs of the American Hockey League, the top farm club of the Montreal Canadiens where he teamed up with Yvon Lambert (left wing) and Tony Featherstone (right wing) to become one of the most productive scoring lines in American Hockey League history: the three players combined for 131 goals and 177 assists for 308 points in the 1972-1973 regular season and 27 goals and 39 assists for 66 points in just 13 playoff games. The three players finished 1 (Lambert 104 points), 2 (Featherstone 103 points, 3 (Stefaniw 101 points) in the AHL scoring race that season. For a number of years, his 71 assists from that year was the team record and Yvon Lambert's 52 goals and 104 points from that season remain club records to this day.^{[citation needed]}
