Arthur Edmund "Art" Coulter - Born May 31, 1909 in Winnipeg, Manitoba – Died October 14, 2000 in Mobile, Alabama was a Canadian/American ice Hockey defenceman.

- Stanley Cup Champion 1934 with Chicago Black Hawks, 1940 with New York Rangers.

- Prince of Wales Trophy Champion 1942 with New York Rangers.

Coulter learned to play Hockey on the frozen Red and Assiniboine Rivers in Winnipeg with his friends and other players .... he later described this as 300 kids and one puck. He played his minor and junior Hockey in Winnipeg, joining the Pilgrims Athletic Club, leading them to the Manitoba Juvenile Hockey Championship in 1927.

The Coulter family moved to Pittsburgh in the fall of 1927, and Art missed a whole season of playing.

Coulter then became a Hockey pro in 1929 with the Philadelphia Arrows in the Canadian-American Hockey League / Can-Am.

Coulter played with the Arrows for almost 3 seasons before they traded him to the NHL Chicago Black Hawks in February 1932, where he settled in nicely on their blueline, and scored his 1st NHL goal during the 1932 NHL playoffs vs Lorne Chabot of Toronto Maple Leafs at 9:50 of 3rd period on March 29, 1932 at Maple Leaf Gardens in a 6-1 Toronto win.

Coulter helped the Chicago Black Hawks win their first Stanley Cup in 1934. His physical play and ability to handle the puck made Coulter a perfect defence partner for burly Taffy Abel. The solid duo played a key role on the Black Hawks playoff success, as 2 games went into overtime in the finals, both wins for the Black Hawks, as they won the Stanley Cup 3 games to 1.

Coulter was voted to the second NHL All-Star Team in 1935 but found himself traded to the New York Rangers for Earl Seibert midway through the next season. His solid defensive play, toughness and competitive zeal pleased everyone in New York, and he was known as the "Ice General"

Prior to the 1937-38 season, Coulter succeeded Bill Cook as captain of the Rangers, becoming the 2nd captain in their history. He was selected to the second NHL All-Star Team three straight years beginning in 1938.

In 1939 Coulter took part in the Babe Siebert Memorial Game and the next year he helped the Rangers win their third Stanley Cup in 1940. Coulter set a career high with 19 points the following season and was one of the most popular players in Manhattan.

With the breakout of World War II, Coulter joined the Coast Guard after the 1941-42 NHL season ended, and spent two seasons with the Coast Guard Clippers when they played out of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League / EAHL. Coulter was one of the top attractions in the league and was placed on the first all-star team in 1943.

Coulter retired after World War II ended.

Coulter played in 458 regular season NHL games, scoring 31 goals (9 GWG), 82 assists with 546 penalty minutes and 49 NHL playoffs, scoring 4 goals, 5 assists with 72 penalty minutes.
