Joe Gurney (born January 5, 1965) is a retired American ice hockey player.
Professional career[edit]
Gurney played his college hockey at Fitchburg State University. As a member of the Falcons, Gurney's set several Fitchburg State Falcons records with 108 goals, 132 assists, 240 points, 13 game-winning goals, 19 power play goals, 7 hat tricks. As of 2011, only his career mark of 132 assists is still a Fitchburg State University record.[1]
Gurney started his professional career as a member of the Johnstown Chiefs. As a member of the Chiefs, Gurney recorded the longest consecutive goal-scoring streak in ECHL history. Gurney scored goals in 12 consecutive games, dating from November 6, 1988 to November 26, 1988, which was an ECHL record that would stand for four seasons. His record was eventually broken by Kirby Lindal of the Raleigh IceCaps, who scored goals in 13 consecutive games.[2] Lindal's record would later be broken by Darren Schwartz several weeks later. Gurney's 12 game goal-scoring streak is currently the third longest in ECHL history. Gurney also received a short two game callup to the Chiefs' AHL affiliate, the Maine Mariners. Gurney finished his season with 38 goals, 43 assists, and 81 points, all of which were top 10 in the ECHL scoring race.[3]
Gurney's 38 goals also made him part of 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 teams in ECHL history to have five 30 goal scorers on its roster in one season.[4]
