Learn More About Milt Schmidt:

Milt Schmidt was a great centre who played 16 years in the NHL, from 1936-1942 and 1945-1955. Schmidt played junior hockey with his two friends Woody Dumart and Bobby Bauer until their rights were acquired by the Boston Bruins. Although Schmidt’s rights were acquired in 1935, he did not start to play with the Bruins until 1937. Even in the NHL, Schmidt, Dumart and Bauer still played with each other and they formed the mighty Kraut Line. The Kraut Line was key factor to the Bruins success, and they won a Stanley Cup in 1939. The next year was one of Schmidt’s greatest seasons as he came out leading the league in scoring, he guided the Bruins to another first place and the team finished with the third most goals in team history.  Schmidt also won another Stanley Cup in 1941.

Schmidt missed three seasons after this because he, Dumart and Bauer enlisted in the Canadian Military during World War II from 1942-1945. However, before going overseas Schmidt played with Ottawa on the RCAF team and won the Allan Cup.

Schmidt came back to the NHL in 1946 and he proved he was still a skilled goal scorer, finishing fourth in the league in scoring in 1947.  He won the Hart Trophy for league MVP and was named captain of the Bruins in 1951.  He retired part way through the 1954-1955 season to become coach of the Boston Bruins.  He coached the Bruins for 11 seasons before becoming the team’s General Manager.  He won the Stanley Cup in 1970 and 1972 as a Manager.  He later became the general manager of Washington Capitals in 1974.  Milt Schmidt was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961.  He passed away in January 2017 at the age of 98.
