Edward George "Eddie" Kullman (December 12, 1923 – March 15, 1997) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 343 games in the National Hockey League with the New York Rangers from 1947 to 1954. Kullman is related to former Hershey Bears player Arnie Kullman.[1]

Playing career

Kullman played six seasons for the Rangers, including three seasons where he suited up for all 70 regular-season games. He participated in one playoff series, in which the Rangers were eliminated by the Detroit Red Wings in six games.

A memorable incident in Kullman's career occurred against Maurice Richard and the Montreal Canadiens. While Kullman was being restrained by an official, Richard took the opportunity to attack him with his stick, sending Kullman to the ice on his knees.
