Two-time Stanley Cup winner Wendell Young is the only hockey player to ever win all four major North American hockey championships (IHL Turner Cup, AHL Calder Cup, CAHA Memorial Cup, and NHL Stanley Cup).

Young holds many goaltending awards in the AHL and the IHL, has the most consecutive playoff wins in the 1988 AHL and in the IHL, is the goaltender with the most consecutive wins, and had the longest unbeaten streak by a goaltender in 1997. Young racked up several goaltending records making him the IHL Chicago Wolves franchise leader among goaltenders in games-played (322), wins (169), saves (8,467), minutes (17,912), play-off wins (19), saves in one season (1,771), and shutouts (16).

His greatness isn’t merely described by his performance between the posts. After a stellar hockey career as a player, Young didn’t stop there. He became the goaltending coach for the Calgary Flames from 2001 to 2003, then retuned to the Chicago Wolves to serve as the goaltending and strength and conditioning coach in 2003. He is currently serving his third year as the assistant coach for the Wolves and as the team’s executive director of team relations.

Young is very well-known in Chicago for giving back to the community, and the game of hockey. Apart from his great hockey achievements, he has been recognized as the IHL Man of the Year and PHPA Man of the Year in 2001 for his community service.
