A two-time Stanley Cup Champion, Schmidt was also a former Hart Trophy winner and was named a First Team All Star three times. Like so many who played in the 1940’s, he would lose playing time due to serving his country in World War II, which of course impacted his overall numbers and accomplishments. It is worth noting that Schmidt would win two more Stanley Cups (1970 & 1972) in Boston as the General Manager.
Schmidt entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961 and had his number 15 retired in 1980.
