Samuel "Porky" Levine - Born May 15, 1908 in Russian Empire - Died April 1, 1970 in Kirkland Lake, Ontario was a Russian/Canadian ice Hockey Goaltender and manager.

- Harry F. Sinclair Trophy Champion 1933 with Kansas City Pla-Mors, 1934 with Kansas City Greyhounds.

Porky Levine never played in the NHL, but he did practice and attend training camps with Detroit Cougars and Chicago Black Hawks.

Porky Levine did have a fine career in the American Hockey Association / AHA with a variety of teams, and was known for his style of play, which was falling down on the ice in front of the goal net, resulting in making saves, as in most of his playing days, goalies were required to stand up and were not allowed to play on their knees and such. He was threatened with penalties and probably got a few for his falling down actions. He won 2 AHA playoff championships.

It has been reported that Porky Levine had 83 shutouts as a minor professional goalie, and was often referred as the shutout king.

NOTE
According to a 1928 article in The Seattle Times, in his youth, Sam Levine passed on a pork roast dinner at a baseball function held in Timmins, Ontario and was tagged with the nickname “Porky” in jest by his teammates and the name stuck, as he was known as Porky Levine thereafter.
