For most of his career, he was known as an agitator, incurring many penalty minutes for fi ghting. He was very popular with the fans, who envisioned him as a colorful left wing who did not score many goals, but often fought to the delight of his fans. A sportswriter in Canada, Stephen Cole, dubbed Shack’s playing as that of “a big puppy let loose in a wide fi eld.” In an age where hockey players were usually small, Shack stood six-foot-one and weighed 200 pounds. Eddie Shack had a breakout season in 1965-1966 – scoring 26 goals and 17 assists while recording 88 penalty minutes. His popularity reached high ground when a local group, Douglas Rankine with the Secrets, recorded a song, “Clear the Track, Here Comes Shack,” which reached the top of the Canadian pop chart and remained there for three months. A line of the tune stated, “He knocks ’em down and he gives ’em a whack.” His scoring was diminished during this season, so a trade was imminent. He had been a member of four Stanley Cup teams, and in the 1963 games he was credited with the winning goal – he maintained he was only trying to get out of the way of a shot and it rebounded in off his backside. Shack played on the 1967 Maple Leafs Stanley Cup team, and he was traded to the Bruins during the off -season. With the Bruins he was left wing with Derek Sanderson and Ed Westfall, where he scored 26 goals. During his nine seasons with the Leafs, the club reached the playoff s eight times. In his National League career, he played in 1,047 games, scored 239 goals with 226 assists and accumulated 1,437 penalty minutes. Shack played in the National Hockey League All-Star game in 1962, 1963 and 1964. When his playing days were over, Eddie Shack was the advertising spokesman in Canada, mostly for The Pop Shoppe soft drinks and Schick razors, and for his own small chain of donut stores bearing his name. Among his achievements, along with hockey, although he was illiterate for most of his life, he became an advocate for literacy programs in the province of Ontario.
