Harry Carlyle Liscombe (May 17, 1914 – February 24, 2004[1]) was a Canadian ice hockey player. He played in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings between 1937 and 1946. With Detroit he won the Stanley Cup in 1943. He also won the Calder Cup with the Providence Reds of the American Hockey League in 1949. Liscombe was the last surviving member of Red Wings 1943 Stanley Cup team.
Liscombe was a key member of the 1943 Stanley Cup champions.[2] After scoring 42 points during the regular season, he tied a league record with 14 points in the playoffs. He scored the last goal of the 1943 Stanley Cup Finals.
After co-leading the NHL across two playoff seasons with 26 points (12 points in 1942[3] and 14 points in 1943[4]), Liscombe scored a career-high 73 points in 50 games during the 1943-44 regular season (fourth-best in the league scoring race).
Liscombe shares the team record for most goals in a playoff game and most points in a game.
Liscombe was also a star in the American Hockey League, notably becoming the first back-to-back winner of the Les Cunningham Award as the league's Most Valuable Player. In 1949, Liscombe helped the Providence Reds win the Calder Cup.
Liscombe died of complications from leukemia.
