Joe Gurney (born January 5, 1965) is a retired American ice hockey player.
Professional career
Gurney played his college hockey at Fitchburg State University. As a member of the Falcons, Gurney set several Fitchburg State Falcons records: 108 goals, 132 assists, 240 points, 13 game-winning goals, 19 power-play goals, and 7 hat tricks. As of 2011, only his career mark of 132 assists remains a Fitchburg State University record.[1]
Gurney began his professional career with the Johnstown Chiefs. While with the Chiefs, Gurney recorded the longest consecutive goal-scoring streak in ECHL history. He scored in 12 consecutive games, from November 6, 1988, to November 26, 1988. This ECHL record stood for four seasons, before being broken by Kirby Lindal of the Raleigh IceCaps, who scored in 13 consecutive games.[2] Lindal's record was subsequently broken by Darren Schwartz. Gurney's 12-game streak is currently the third-longest in ECHL history. He also received a brief two-game call-up to the Chiefs' AHL affiliate, the Maine Mariners. Gurney finished the season with 38 goals, 43 assists, and 81 points, which were all top-10 performances in the ECHL scoring race.[3]
Gurney's 38 goals also contributed to an ECHL team record. Along with teammates Rob Hrytsak, Tom Sasso, Mike Marcinkiewicz, and Jeff Salzbrunn, Gurney's 1988–89 Chiefs team is one of four in ECHL history to have five 30-goal scorers on its roster in a single season.[4]

Gurney was part of the inaugural Fitchburg State University Athletic Hall of Fame. He was inducted on November 19, 1994.[5]
