Ray Staszak (born December 1, 1962 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a retired American professional ice hockey player who played in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings. Staszak played only four regular season games for the Wings, despite being a highly touted prospect. After an intense bidding war, he was the first million dollar college free agent to sign with an NHL team.[1][2]
Staszak played high school hockey at Archbishop Ryan High School in Philadelphia, and also participated in midget hockey in his native Bucks County. He later played in the USHL. [1]
