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.
