About Bob Champoux
Born 1942. Bob Champoux is a Canadian ice hockey player.
Robert Joseph Champoux (born December 2, 1942) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey goaltender. He made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut with the Detroit Red Wings on March 29, 1964 when he replaced an injured Terry Sawchuk in a 5β4 victory at Chicago Stadium that evened the semifinal series against the Blackhawks at one game apiece. After Sawchuk returned to play all the remaining matches in the Red Wings' Stanley Cup playoff run, Champoux did not play in another NHL contest until nine years later when he registered a 2β11β3 record with the California Golden Seals, the worst team in the league during the 1973β74 season. He spent the remainder of his professional hockey career in the minor leagues.
Champoux worked as a computer programmer after retiring from professional hockey.
