Gordon Lynn Strate (May 28, 1935 – September 5, 2012) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 61 games in the National Hockey League for the Detroit Red Wings as a defenceman. He holds the record as the player to have played the most NHL games without recording a point. After retiring from hockey, he owned a tire shop in Fort St. John, British Columbia and eventually returned to Sherwood Park, Alberta, just outside his home town to retire. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and died in Sherwood Park, Alberta at the age of 77.
