'''William Alexander''' "'''Sandy'''" '''Snow''' (born November 11, 1946) is a Canadian former professional [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [winger](/source/winger_(ice_hockey)). Snow played three games in the [National Hockey League](/source/National_Hockey_League) with the [Detroit Red Wings](/source/Detroit_Red_Wings) during the [1968–69 season](/source/1968%E2%80%9369_NHL_season). The rest of his career, which lasted from 1966 to 1974, was spent in the minor leagues.

==Early life==
Snow was born in [Glace Bay](/source/Glace_Bay). He grew up in Donkin playing on outside rinks in and around the community. He started his career playing on five different teams from 1963 to 1969. He began play in the juniors with the [Hamilton Red Wings](/source/Hamilton_Red_Wings) of the [OHA Jr. League](/source/Ontario_Hockey_League) and the [Weyburn Red Wings](/source/Weyburn_Red_Wings) of the [Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League](/source/Saskatchewan_Junior_Hockey_League). Snow scored 182 points in his first four years of junior hockey before getting his shot at competing at a higher level.

== Career ==
Brought up for four games with the [Memphis Wings](/source/Memphis_Wings) of the [CPHL](/source/Central_Hockey_League_(1963%E2%80%9384)) in the 1965–66 season, Snow only recorded one assist, but the coaches saw promise and Snow returned to the lineup the following season as a member of the newly named [Fort Worth Wings](/source/Fort_Worth_Wings). He recorded 26 points in the 56 games season and helped Fort Worth in the playoffs by adding another three. The following season Snow improved on those numbers by scoring 34 points in 60 games. He was called up by the [Detroit Red Wings](/source/Detroit_Red_Wings) to fill in on the fourth line. However, he only played three games, recording two penalty minutes before being traded to the [New York Rangers](/source/New_York_Rangers), along with [Terry Sawchuk](/source/Terry_Sawchuk), for [Larry Jeffrey](/source/Larry_Jeffrey) on June 17, 1969. The Rangers turned around and traded Snow to the [Phoenix Roadrunners](/source/Phoenix_Roadrunners_(WHL)) of the [Western Hockey League](/source/Western_Hockey_League) along with [Don Caley](/source/Don_Caley) for [Peter McDuffe](/source/Peter_McDuffe) on July 3, 1969.

Snow knocked in 17 goals and 14 assists for Phoenix in 1969–70 and added one goal the following year before being traded to the [Kansas City Blues](/source/Kansas_City_Blues_(ice_hockey)) of the [Central Hockey League](/source/Central_Hockey_League_(1963%E2%80%9384)) in December 1970. He played in only 12 games before joined the [Flint Generals](/source/Flint_Generals_(IHL)) of the [International Hockey League](/source/International_Hockey_League_(1945%E2%80%932001)) to finish out the season. For the next three seasons Snow regained his scoring touch, knocking in 65 goals and 85 assists for the Generals. The 1973–74 season saw Snow join the [Brantford Foresters](/source/Brantford_Foresters) of the [OHA Senior A Hockey League](/source/OHA_Senior_A_League_(1890%E2%80%931979)) and play his last nine games of his career, ending with five points. He retired at the end of the season in 1974.
