William Leroy Chadwick was best known as a referee, after his hockey career ended at age 19 after a serious eye injury, after being hit by a puck, which left him blind in one eye (he never told anyone he was blind during his reffing career).

Also served as a radio and TV commentator from 1965-85 , where he was given his nickname "the Big Whistle". He retired from hockey related work in 1987

He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1964. He passed away, while in hospice care, on October 24, 2009 at the age of 94.
