'''Ronald Lawrence Schock ''' (born December 19, 1943) is a Canadian former professional [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [centre](/source/Centre_(ice_hockey)) who played in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) from [1964](/source/1964%E2%80%9365_NHL_season) to [1978](/source/1977%E2%80%9378_NHL_season). His younger brother, [Danny Schock](/source/Danny_Schock), also played briefly in the NHL. Schock retired following 909 games, recording a total of 166 goals, 351 assists, and 517 points.

==Playing career==
Schock scored his first NHL goal as a member of the Boston Bruins on February 29, 1964. It came in his team's 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at Boston Garden.

While playing with the [St. Louis Blues](/source/St._Louis_Blues), Schock attended a hockey dinner and was asked where he would least like to be traded. He responded, either the [New York Rangers](/source/New_York_Rangers) or [Pittsburgh Penguins](/source/Pittsburgh_Penguins). Two days later he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Ron Schock is perhaps most famous for his double overtime "Midnight Goal" that won game 7 for the Blues over the [Minnesota North Stars](/source/Minnesota_North_Stars) on May 3, 1968, and sent the Blues to the Stanley Cup finals in the first year of the NHL expansion.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://blues.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=34437 |title = Great Moments}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=http://penguinslegends.blogspot.com/2006/12/ron-schock.html |title = Pittsburgh Penguins Legends: Ron Schock|date = 2006-12-19}}</ref> Arguably, this was a major contribution to the early popularity of the St. Louis Blues franchise.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.jcs-group.com/trueblues/caught.html |title = The Team Quickly Caught the Imagination of Local Fans}}</ref>
