Earl Ingarfield, Jr.

Earl Thompson Ingarfield, Jr. (born January 30, 1959 in Manhasset, New York) is a retired professional ice hockey left wing who played 41 National Hockey League games for the Atlanta/Calgary Flames and Detroit Red Wings between 1979 and 1981. Ingarfield recorded four goals and four assists in 39 regular season games, and added one assist in two playoff games for the Atlanta Flames.

He played junior hockey for the Regina Pats and Lethbridge Broncos from 1976 to 1979. Despite good scoring totals (68 goals and 71 assists in his last two seasons) he was not drafted by any NHL club.

The Atlanta Flames signed him as a free agent in 1979. Ingarfield got into one game for Atlanta in 1979-80 and another 16 games with the newly-moved Calgary Flames in 1980-81. He was traded to the Detroit Red Wings in February, 1981, for Dan Labraaten and played 22 games for his new team.

The next two seasons were spent with the Adirondack Red Wings of the American Hockey League. Ingarfield then took two years off before returning for three more years of minor pro. He retired in 1987.

After his playing career, Ingarfield worked as a scout in Western Canada for the New York Islanders.

He is the son of former NHL player Earl Ingarfield, Sr.
