==Playing career==
 
 
Born in [[Blackie]], [[Alberta]], [[Canada]], Egan started his professional career with the [[Seattle Seahawks]] of the [[Pacific Coast Hockey League]] in 1938, recording 185 penalty minutes in only 44 games. The [[1939–40 NHL season|next season]] he played mostly for Springfield, but was recalled to make his NHL debut for the [[New York Americans]], playing in ten games that season. He played two more seasons with the Americans' franchise before serving in the military in 1942–43.
 
 
Egan was back in pro hockey in [[1943–44 NHL season|the 1944 season]], but as the Americans' franchise had folded, his rights were acquired by the [[Detroit Red Wings]]. After only half a season with Detroit, the hardrock defenseman was traded to the Boston Bruins for star offensive defenseman [[Flash Hollett]]. Egan would anchor the Bruins' defense corps for six seasons in all, before being traded to the [[New York Rangers]] in [[1949–50 NHL season|1949]], for whom he would play two seasons.
 
 
By [[1951–52 AHL season|1951]], Egan was slowing down, and was sent down to the minor leagues for good. He played nine more years in the minors, principally for the [[Providence Reds]] of the AHL, his final action coming in [[1958–59 NHL season|1959]] when he played a few games for the [[Victoria Cougars]] of the [[Western Hockey League]]. His later minor league career was marred by an incident in November 1952 when he was suspended by the AHL for life for assaulting a linesman; the suspension was lifted a week later.
 
 
Egan finished his NHL career with 77 goals and 153 assists for 230 points in 554 games, adding 776 penalty minutes.

Egan was tabbed as a coach even while still playing, serving as player-coach of the Reds in [[1953–54 AHL season|1954]] and [[1954–55 AHL season|1955]], and as player-coach of the [[Nelson Maple Leafs]] of the senior [[Western International Hockey League]] in 1957.
 
 
Immediately following his retirement as a player, Egan was hired by Springfield Indians team owner [[Eddie Shore]] to coach the club, and the powerful Indians went on to win three straight first place finishes and three straight [[Calder Cup]] championships under his aegis. His tenure under the turbulent Shore lasted three more seasons, but the Indians failed to make the playoffs in any of them, moving on to coach the [[Jacksonville Rockets]] of the [[Eastern Hockey League]] in 1966. With the team beset by injuries, Egan laced up the skates one final time, playing 19 games with the Rockets at age 47, after which he hung them up for good.
 
 
After a final season coaching for the [[Knoxville Knights]] of the EHL in 1968, Egan went on to work in Operations for [[Northeastern University]] for 22 years until his retirement. Save for the three Calder Cup championship seasons in Springfield, Egan had no other playoff teams in his eleven year coaching career.
