Walter Peter Stanowski (April 28, 1919 – June 28, 2015) was a Canadian ice hockey defenceman. He was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1]

Stanowski started his National Hockey League career with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1939. In 1941, he was a member of the NHL All-Star team. He won four Stanley Cups with the Maple Leafs.[2] Stanowski was traded to the New York Rangers after the 1947-48 season.[2] He retired after the 1951 season.

In 1942 Stanowski was the first Leaf defenseman to record 4 points in a playoff game, setting a franchise record that still stands today. Allan Stanley (1960), Ian Turnbull (1976), and Morgan Rielly (2023) are the other Leafs who have done it since.

Stanowski was the last surviving member of Maple Leafs 1942 and 1945 Stanley Cup team.[2]

As of 2015, Stanowski lived in a retirement home near Toronto.[3] He died on June 28, 2015.[1] At the time of his death, Stanowski was the oldest surviving Maple Leaf.

On October 14, 2016, Stanowski was named by the Maple Leafs as #66 of the one hundred greatest players in team history.[4]

Personal life

Wally's son Skip played for Cornell, winning a national title in 1967.
