Lorne Austin Davis (July 20, 1930 – December 20, 2007) was a Canadian ice hockey player, and later a scout. He played for four teams in the National Hockey League between 1951 and 1960, with the rest of his career spent in the minor leagues. After retiring he became a scout and worked with the Edmonton Oilers from 1979 to 2008. Internationally Davis played for the Canadian national team at the 1966 World Championship, winning a bronze medal. He was born in Lumsden, Saskatchewan, but grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Playing career
Davis spent most of his fifteen-year pro career playing for minor-league teams, with occasional call-ups to the Montreal Canadiens (with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 1953), Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, and Boston Bruins. In 1964–65, he was a player-coach for the Muskegon Zephyrs of the International Hockey League. After his retirement, he went on to coach his former junior team, the Western Hockey League's Regina Pats, and then the New York Rangers before becoming a scout for the Edmonton Oilers. He received five more Stanley Cup rings for his work as a scout of the Oilers (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1990), and his name was put on the Stanley Cup in 1985, 1987, and 1990. Davis remained employed by the club until he died in late 2007.{{Cite web|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/leaderpost/obituary.aspx?n=lorne-austin-davis&pid=99980016#fbLoggedOut|title = Lorne Davis Obituary (2007) - Leader-Post| website=Legacy.com }}
