Thomas Joseph Daley (born February 20, 1943) is a Canadian former ice hockey goaltender. He played in the National Hockey League and World Hockey Association for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Red Wings, and Winnipeg Jets between 1968 and 1979.
Daley was the Sabres' first choice in the 1970 Intra-League Draft. He was also one of the last NHL goalies to play without a mask, although he did wear a mask for Winnipeg in the WHA.
Daley's longest stint in major league hockey was with Winnipeg from 1972–79. He won the Avco World Trophy three with the Jets (1976, 1978, 1979) and was the WHA's second leading goalie during the 1975–76 season.
Daley lost his primary spot as goaltender in the midst of the 1978-79 season, which saw him go 7-11-3 with a GAA of 4.29. In the summer of 1979, Daley was stated to be one of the players the Jets would give a tryout form for the NHL as he was a free agent. [1] In September 1979, Daley, with no offer of a suitable contract by Winnipeg, stated that he would not report to training camp. Daley, alongside Bobby Hull, were the longest-served Jets. [2] [3] Daley never played hockey again. No goaltender played more games in the WHA than Daley, who started 308 games. He also held records for wins (167) and playoff wins (30). As a professional goaltender, Daley went 201–157–32.
In 1980, he was hired to work the sales team at Century 21 Pride Realty. [4] For a time, Daley instructed a summer hockey school in Penticton, British Columbia. [5] In 1981–82, he was the coach of the junior hockey Penticton Knights. In 1986, Daley became a salesman with Keystone Ford Sales. [6] In 1988, he was brought in to provide assistance to the Jets in goaltending advice. [7] In 1989, Daley, at the urging of his son Travis, bought a dealership that became Joe Daley Sports Cards in Winnipeg, a trading card store located near his old playing grounds at the Winnipeg Arena; he still operates the store, now called Joe Daley's Sports and Framing that is located on St. Mary's Road. [8] [9]
Daley was named to the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995 and was named to the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 2018. [10] A mural honoring Daley was unveiled in 2019 at Bronx Park Community Centre, where he had played as a child. [11]
