Kenneth "Kenny" Mosdell (July 13, 1922 – January 5, 2006) was a

Brooklyn Americans, Montreal Canadiens, and Chicago Black Hawks. He was the last active NHL player to have played for the Brooklyn Americans, and also the last player until 1967 to play for an NHL team that was not part of the Original Six

. Mosdell won four Stanley Cups with the Canadiens in 1946, 1953, 1956, and 1959.

Mosdell was born in Montreal, Quebec. His 1954 "Parkies" hockey card lists him^{[citation needed]} as an all-star centre for the Montreal Canadiens, "starting his 11th season with the Canadiens." In the 1953-54 season, he played 67 games and had 22 goals and 24 assists.^[1] He was also a "top notch defensive player and has been used many times in penalty killing roles. During the summer he works building boxcars, swinging a sledge hammer all day to keep in top physical shape."^{[citation needed]}

Mosdell died January 5, 2006, in Montreal, Quebec, at the age of 83. His health had declined steadily after suffering a stroke three years previously.
