Robert V. "Happy" Heathcott is a Canadian retired ice hockey Defenceman who played for Michigan in the early 1950s.[1]
Career
Heathcott played several years of
First All-Tournament Team for his efforts.[4]
The following year was Heachcott's finest as he not only led the team to a second consecutive national championship (third overall) but also led the team in scoring, becoming the first
defenseman to achieve that feat with a champion. Despite his scoring prowess as well as the team success, Heathcott was not conferred any postseason honor. He graduated in 1952 with a degree in geology and returned to Calgary to work in the oil industry.[5]
Heathcott was inducted into the Michigan Dekers hall of fame in 1978.
