Dean Sutherland Prentice

Number: 17
Born: October 5, 1932 Schumacher, Ontario
Position: Left Wing
Shoots: Left

Dean was somewhat of a rarity in the pre-expansion NHL, in that he jumped directly to the NHL, with no minor league experience. His 1378 games in the NHL rank 10th All-Time.

He came to the Bruins in a big trade in February 1963. The Bruins sent Don McKeeney and Dick Meissner to the Rangers to get Dean. He contributed 23 goals in his first full season in Boston, and missed much of the 64-65 season with a shoulder injury. He couldn't but a goal in the 65-66 season, and in February of that 66 he found himself on his way to Detroit in exchange for Ron Murphy.
