Playing career

Bonin's National Hockey League career began during the 1952 after the Red Wings bought his contract from the Quebec Aces of the Quebec Senior Hockey League.

On June 3, 1955, Bonin was dealt in a blockbuster trade to the Boston Bruins along with teammates Terry Sawchuk, Vic Stasiuk and Lorne Davis in exchange for Ed Sandford, Real Chevrefils, Norm Corcoran, Gilles Boisvert and Warren Godfrey.[1] After a single season with the Bruins, Bonin returned to the Quebec Aces for a season before being claimed by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1957 NHL Intraleague Draft.

Bonin won the Stanley Cup four times, doing so in 1955 with Detroit and in 1958, 1959, and 1960 with Montreal.

Bonin's career was ended following on-ice collision with Red Wings defenceman Pete Goegan on February 9, 1962 resulting in a severe back injury.[2]
