Bill Quackenbush, born Hubert George Quackenbush, was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who lived from 2 March 1922 to 12 September 1999 and played a 14-year National Hockey League career with the Boston Bruins and the Detroit Red Wings. In 1948 to 1949 he became the first defenceman to win the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, playing the whole season without a penalty as part of a run of 131 consecutive games without one. Considered an elite offensive defenceman, he was named to the NHL All-Star team five times, played in eight All-Star games and entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1976. After retiring he spent 18 years coaching at Princeton University, where his golf team won eight Ivy League championships and his women's ice hockey team won three.
