About Don Hall

Lived 1930 – 2017 (aged 87). Don Hall was a Canadian ice hockey player.

Donald John Hall (April 2, 1930 – December 24, 2017) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who spent the majority of his career with the Johnstown Jets of the Eastern Hockey League.

In 1946, at the age of 16, Hall signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In 1951 he signed with the Johnstown Jets, a farm team of the Montreal Canadiens. Upon signing, Hall agreed to sign a "C-form", which allowed the Canadiens to own Hall's rights as a professional hockey player. During Hall's rookie season, he played against future hockey Hall of Fame forward Maurice Richard in an exhibition game on November 20, 1951, in front of 1,638 fans at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena.

Hall's jersey number 9 was retired by the Johnstown Chiefs during the 1990–91 season, in honour of his distinguished career with the Jets. A banner commemorating his retirement hangs in the Cambria Country War Memorial Arena.

Hall resided in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, with his wife, Jean. They had three children.
