NEWFOUNDLAND
HOCKEY HALL OF FAME MEMBER
ROB GLADNEY
|
From his 1966 debut in
provincial hockey as an award winning pee wee to the injury that ended
his career December 9, 1983 Clarenville native Rob Gladney enjoyed
exceptional success as a smart, tough, hard-skating, precise-passing
defenceman at every level of hockey in which he played. A badly torn
retina ended Gladney's drive towards the National Hockey League just as
he was making the final move to the big time. He played 13 games with
the Pittsburgh Penguins just prior to his injury as a member of the
Baltimore Skipjacks of the American Hockey League. Drafted 24th overall
by Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1977 NHL draft, Gladney was voted the best
defenceman and an all-star while playing for the Saginaw Gears in the
International Hockey League. Traded to the Los Angeles Kings, he earned
his second top defenceman award as his club won the 1981 championship.
His 78 games that season resulted in 12 goals, 71 assists and 83 points
with only 54 penalty minutes. Moved to the New Haven Nighthawks, Gladney
saw his first NHL action December 15, 1982 when the Kings played the
Rangers in New York. New Haven fans voted him the award for skill and
sportsmanship. He finished with four individual awards for the 1982-83
season with the Nighthawks. In fact, his complete seven-season pro
hockey career was filled with team and individual awards for a very
valuable defenceman. Gladney's three junior hockey seasons were spent
with the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Junior Hockey organization. He
went sixth overall in the League's 1974 draft and won four major awards
with the Generals who he captained in 1976 and 1977. He played 188 games
for Oshawa with 58 goals, 144 assists for 202 points and 187 penalty
minutes. This was an excellent record for a defenceman who stood out
defensively. As a perennial all-star for Clarenville minor teams from
1965 to 1974, he was voted 11 major individual awards as he provided
outstanding leadership for teams that did extremely well in a variety of
tournaments and championships, often against teams from communities that
were much larger than Clarenville. Gladney was the leader and his
teammates followed his leadership
