Enio James Sclisizzi (August 1, 1925 – June 27, 2012) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. Sclisizzi played 81 games in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Black Hawks between 1947 and 1953. Sclisizzi won the Stanley Cup in 1952 with Detroit. When the cup was redone during the 1957–58 season, for some reason his name was omitted from the new version, but his name can still be seen on the original 1952 Detroit team engraving in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Career

In 1942, the Milton Bricks Tigers won an Ontario Hockey Association Junior "C" title. Milton defeated Oakville to advance to the semi-finals and Parry Sound to move on to the finals against the Preston Riversides.{{Cite web|url=http://news.milton.halinet.on.ca/2495098/page/3?q=hockey&docid=OOI.2495098|title = Canadian Champion (Milton, ON), 26 Mar 1942, p. 3}} In the Schmalz Cup best of three series, which was held at Maple Leaf Gardens, Milton won game one by a score of 6–4, with three goals coming from Milton's future NHL player Enio Schlisizzi, and game two by a score of 10–1.{{Cite web|url=http://news.milton.halinet.on.ca/2495099/page/2?n=|title = Canadian Champion (Milton, ON), 2 Apr 1942, p. 2}}
