About Julian Klymkiw

  • Julian Gregory Klymkiw (born July 16, 1933) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey goaltender who played in one National Hockey League game for the New York Rangers during the 1958–59 NHL season. Klymkiw was working as Detroit`s assistant trainer during the October 12, 1958 game between the Rangers and Red Wings at The Olympia.
  • Early in the third period, Rangers goaltender Gump Worsley was tripped up and crashed into his own net by Gordie Howe, pulling a tendon in his left leg.
  • Worsley was removed from the ice on a stretcher, and the Wings offered the Rangers the use of Klymkiw for the remainder of the game.
  • Klymkiw had been a goaltender during his amateur hockey career and participated in Detroit practices.
  • He entered the game with the Red Wings leading 1-0 and gave up two goals, one to Marcel Pronovost and one to Gordie Howe, for a 3-0 loss. Klymkiw was also the resident goaltender for the CBS show "Shootout in the NHL", which ran in the gaps between periods of games broadcast by CBS.
