Paul Goodman (ice hockey)

Paul William Goodman (February 25, 1905 – October 1, 1959) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender and politician who played 52 games in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Black Hawks from 1938 to 1941.

Career
During the 1938 Stanley Cup Finals, Mike Karakas, the regular Black Hawks goaltender, was injured and unable to play in game one. Chicago used substitution goalie Alfie Moore. The Black Hawks won the game 3–1 over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto then refused to let Moore play the next game, but agreed to allow Goodman to play. Chicago lost 5–1 to Toronto. Karakas returned from injuries to win the next two games. Chicago became the first of only two teams (see 1949 Toronto) to win the Stanley Cup with a losing record. Chicago included Goodman name on the Stanley Cup in 1938 for his efforts.

Goodman was a member of Winnipeg City Council from 1954 to 1959, and unsuccessfully contested the 1958 Manitoba general election as a member of the Manitoba Liberal Party in Winnipeg Centre.
