He was definitely with the Chicago organization in '61-'62, having played in the Buffalo Bisons who were then Chicago's affiliate. In '62-'63 he was back in Buffalo. Frankly I never have figured out what happened there. I thought it might have been a mistake in the newspapers, I even thought they might have meant Dick Van Impe (Ed's brother?) but Dick wasn't part of the Hawks organization and was a forward; all the newspapers said "defenceman Ed Van Impe".<br /><br />In fact every single newspaper I looked at said Toronto made the last selection and picked Ed Van Impe. The Toronto Star article said "Leafs took defenceman Ed Van Impe from Chicago. He was with Buffalo last season and was sent on to Eddie Shore at Springfield by Leafs." I think the idea was that Van Impe was going to be part of the package of players traded to the Springfield Indians to get Kent Douglas. The eventual trade was for Roger Cote, Dick Mattiussi, Bill White, Jim Wilcox and the loan of Wally Boyer. Maybe Van Impe refused to report to Springfield and he was traded back to the Hawks in short order? I really don't know.Mark Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279058747359050317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606399294534830977.post-7822997483015490542013-04-14T15:08:54.040-06:002013-04-14T15:08:54.040-06:00Mark,

Regarding t...Mark,<br /><br />Love the new material- thanks.<br /><br />Regarding the 8th and 9th choices in the second round you have "new" in front of Chicago and (I may be wrong) wasn't Van Impe an original Blackhawk before being drafted by the Flyers?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521449471079383774noreply@blogger.com
