Ralph Cox
Ralph Cox is an American former professional ice hockey player. He was selected by the Boston Bruins in the 7th round of the 1977 NHL Entry Draft.
Cox played his high school hockey at Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree, Massachusetts, USA and is one of the best players in program history. Cox then played NCAA hockey with the New Hampshire Wildcats men's ice hockey team. He was NCAA First-Team All-Conference in 1978–79 and ECAC Hockey Player of the Year in 1979. Cox was the team's leading goal-scorer for three consecutive years and is the only University of New Hampshire player to ever score 40 goals in two different seasons. He was the last player cut from the famed 1980 Mens Olympic Hockey Team that won the gold medal at Lake Placid, with head coach Herb Brooks citing the lingering effects of Cox's recent ankle injury as the reason.
Cox was inducted into the New Hampshire Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986. He then joined the Pittsburgh Penguins as a scout, where he received two Stanley Cup rings, and had his name officially engraved on the Stanley Cup in 1992.
