'''Jack Leswick'''  (January 1, 1910 – August 4, 1934) was a Canadian [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [centre](/source/Centre_(ice_hockey)) who played 37 games in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) with the [Chicago Black Hawks](/source/Chicago_Black_Hawks) during the [1933–34 season](/source/1933%E2%80%9334_NHL_season). The bulk of his career, which lasted from 1929 to 1934, was mainly spent in the [American Hockey Association](/source/American_Hockey_Association_(1926%E2%80%931942)). Leswick died in the summer of 1934, shortly after Chicago won the [Stanley Cup](/source/Stanley_Cup).

==Playing career==
Jack Leswick played 3½ seasons for the [Duluth Hornets](/source/Duluth_Hornets) of the [AHA](/source/American_Hockey_Association_(1926%E2%80%9342)). He spent the second half of 1932–33 playing for the [Wichita Blue Jays](/source/Wichita_Blue_Jays). He began the [1934 season](/source/1933%E2%80%9334_AHA_season) in the AHA playing for the [Kansas City Greyhounds](/source/Kansas_City_Greyhounds). Leswick was called up to the [Chicago Black Hawks](/source/Chicago_Black_Hawks) shortly after the beginning of the [1934 season](/source/1933%E2%80%9334_NHL_season). He played 37 games, scoring 1 goal and 7 assists and was assessed 16 penalty minutes [(PIM)](/source/penalty_minutes), as Chicago won the [Stanley Cup](/source/Stanley_Cup) championship that spring, though Leswick did not play any playoff games.

==Suspicious death==
Leswick died in the off-season after the 1933–34 season. His body was found in the [Assiniboine River](/source/Assiniboine_River) without his wallet or other valuables. Leswick's death was ruled either a suicide or accident by the Winnipeg Coroner.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.losthockey.com/profiles/leswick_jack/jack_leswick.cfm |title=Jack Leswick: Profile page |access-date=2008-12-01 |publisher=LostHockey.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080602071719/http://www.losthockey.com/profiles/leswick_jack/jack_leswick.cfm |archive-date=2008-06-02 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
