Biography
[edit]Dudley was born in Toronto, Ontario. He attended Hodgson Senior Public School (now known as Hodgson Middle School) in North Toronto. Garrett originally was the property of the Toronto Maple Leafs, however, he was traded in 1942 along with Hank Goldup to the Rangers for future Hart Trophy recipient, Babe Pratt. Able seaman Garrett died in action during the Second World War while serving on the Flower-class corvette HMCS Shawinigan.[1] During the Battle of the St. Lawrence, while on a convoy escort mission in the Cabot Strait, his ship was torpedoed by German submarine U-1228, and sank in four minutes on the night of 24 November 1944.[2] All 90 crew members were lost including seven officers and 83 ratings.[3] The American Hockey League presented a trophy in his honour in 1947, the Dudley "Red" Garrett Memorial Award, which is given to the best rookie in the AHL each season.[4]
