Jean Joseph "Black Cat" Gagnon (June 3, 1905 in Chicoutimi, Quebec – March 21, 1984) was a Canadian ice hockey forward.
Johnny played in the
Aurel Joliat, claiming he'd simply pass them the puck, stand back, and get the assists
.
After his retirement, he became a scout for the New York Rangers. He was in part responsible for the Rangers getting the great goaltender Eddie Giacomin, scouting him when he played for the American Hockey League's Providence Reds and becoming friends with Giacomin. He gave Rangers' general manager Emile Francis glowing reports on Giacomin, and finally Francis decided to see Giacomin play. Francis eventually obtained Giacomin for four players.
Gagnon died after a lengthy illness on March 21, 1984.
