Professional Hockey Player. For ten seasons (1945 to 1954) he played at the position of center in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. Born George Nathaniel Gee in Stratford, Ontario, he began his career in the minors when at the age of 17 he played with the Owen Sound Greys in the Ontario Hockey Associaton (or OHA). He then moved to the United States and played one season (1941 to 1942) with the Kansas City Americans of the American Hockey Association (or AHA). In 1943, he put his hockey career on hold and went on to serve in the United States Navy during World War II. He was later discharged and then played one season (1945 to 1946) with the Kansas City Pla-Mors of the United States Hockey League (or USHL), before relocating to Chicago, Illinois. In 1946, he signed with the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League. With the Chicago Blackhawks, he was part of the famous player line that also included Alex Kaleta and Red Hamill. In 1948, after only four games into the season, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings. He played with the Detroit Red Wings for four seasons and some his greatest moments were with that particular team. For instance, during the Stanley Cup finals of 1950, while playing the game in overtime in game seven against the New York Rangers he had a face-off at the New York end when he motioned the legendary winger Pete Babando into position. He won the draw and watched Babando fire the puck past Charlie Rayner in goal to give the Detroit Red Wings the Stanley Cup. In 1950, Gee's name was inscribed onto the Stanley Cup. He returned to the Chicago Blackhawks in 1951 and played with them until 1954. That same year, he was offered a player-manager position with the Windsor Bulldogs of the Ontario Hockey Association (or OHA). He served three years with the Windsor Bulldogs until he officially retired from hockey in 1957. His National Hockey League totals include 551 games, 135 goals, 183 assists, 318 points, and 345 penalties in minutes. On January 14, 1972, while playing in the Detroit Red Wings old-timers hockey game in rural Wyandotte, Michigan, he stepped outside for a cigarette and suffered a massive heart attack and passed away at the age of 50.
