Playing career

Davis spent most of his fifteen-year pro career playing for minor-league teams, with occasional call-ups to the Montreal Canadiens—with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 1953 -- Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, and Boston Bruins. In 1964–65, he player-coached the Muskegon Zephyrs of the International Hockey League. After his retirement, he went on to coach his former junior team, the Western Hockey League's Regina Pats, and then the New York Rangers before becoming a scout for the Oilers. He received five more Stanley Cup rings for his work as a scout with the dynasty Oilers 1984–85–87–88–90, and his name was put on the Stanley Cup in 1985, 1987, 1990. Davis remained employed by the club until his death in late 2007.[1]
