Aloysius Martin "Tod" Sloan (born November 30, 1927) is a former Canadian professional ice hockey player. Sloan played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black Hawks. Sloan was a member of three Stanley Cup championship teams: 1949 and 1951 in Toronto, and 1961 in Chicago. Sloan also played for the Pittsburgh Hornets and Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League in the earlier stages of his career.

Career

Sloan played junior hockey with the St. Michael's Majors, joining the Pittsburgh Hornets in the 1946–47 season. Sloan started his National Hockey League career with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1947–48. In 1948–49, his first substantive season in the NHL, Sloan only played 29 regular-season games with Toronto and did not play in the playoffs. His name was left off the Stanley Cup, but he was included on the 1949 Maple Leaf team picture.

In 1957, Sloan, was traded from Toronto to Chicago, along with Jimmy Thomson because of his activities in helping to organize the National Hockey League Players' Association. He would play another four seasons in Chicago and win a further championship. When Chicago won the Stanley Cup in 1961 Tod Sloan was engraved as Martin A. Sloan for an unknown reason.

After winning the Stanley Cup in 1961, Sloan retired from professional ice hockey, although he joined the Guelph Platers senior team and played with the Canadian national ice hockey team in the 1962 IIHF world championship before finally retiring from competitive ice hockey.
