Playing career

Born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, in 1936, Duff was one of 13 siblings. He began playing hockey at a young age with his brothers. At 15, he moved to Toronto to attend St. Michael's College School and play for the school's team, the Toronto St. Michael's Majors. After two years at St. Michael's (1953–1955), Duff joined the NHL, playing his first game in 1955 in a scoreless match between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He opted to join the NHL full-time for the 1956-57 season, forgoing his final year of junior eligibility.

Duff won the Stanley Cup six times—twice with Toronto and four times with Montreal. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 13, 2006, and into the Ontario Sports Hall of Fame in 2014. [3]

His brother Les Duff also played professional ice hockey, and his great-nephew Cody Goloubef has played in the NHL. [4]
