Bobby Sheehan (ice hockey)

Sheehan represented the United States at the 1981 Ice Hockey World Championship tournament. He scored one goal and one assist in eight games.

After spending the entire 1978-79 regular season with the New Haven Nighthawks of the AHL, Sheehan was called up by the New York Rangers to center Pat Hickey and Ron Duguay in the playoffs, which ultimately led to the 1979 Stanley Cup Final, which they lost to the Montreal Canadiens in five games. In 15 playoff games, Sheehan had four goals and three assists, and incurred eight penalty minutes.

In 1972, Sheehan joined the New York Raiders of the World Hockey Association, who had obtained his WHA rights from the New England Whalers. In 1975–76, he returned to the NHL with the Chicago Black Hawks and would transfer between the NHL and American Hockey League (AHL) - plus another stop in the WHA - several times until his retirement in 1983.

As a youth, Sheehan played in the inaugural 1960 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the junior Boston Bruins. A small player by hockey standards, Sheehan made up for his physical deficits by leading the NSJHL minor league with 64 goals his rookie year. He was drafted in the third round, 32nd overall by the Montreal Canadiens and went on to play parts of three seasons in the NHL. He was a reserve on the Canadiens Stanley Cup-champion team in 1971 and then joined the lowly California Golden Seals where he quickly became a regular and one of the top forwards for his new club.
