Michael David Veisor, Sr. (born August 25, 1952) is a Canadian former ice hockey goaltender.[1] He played 139 games in the National Hockey League between 1973 and 1984.[2] He was described as: "One of the most agile goaltenders around; plays goal like a trapeze artist."[3]

Biography

Veisor was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and is Jewish.[4] As a youth, he played in the 1963 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Toronto.[5] He was drafted in Round 3 (#45 overall) in the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft.[2] He started his National Hockey League career with the Chicago Black Hawks in 1973. He was the second Jewish goalie in NHL history.[4][6] He had wanted to be the first, but he was preceded by Ross Brooks.[4]

He also played for the Hartford Whalers and Winnipeg Jets. He retired after the 1984 season.[7][2]

Veisor currently works at Avon Old Farms School, in Avon, Connecticut,[8] and is the rink manager.[3] His son, Michael David Veisor, Jr., was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft (12th round, 263rd overall). Mike, Jr. is a former college and minor-league goaltender, but he never played in the NHL.
