Dennis Frederick McCord (July 28, 1952 – February 7, 2005) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played three games in the National Hockey League for the Vancouver Canucks in 1974.
Born in Chatham, Ontario, McCord played his junior hockey for the London Knights and was selected 115th overall in the 1972 NHL Amateur Draft by the Vancouver Canucks. He turned pro the following season and was assigned to the Seattle Totems, Vancouver's top minor-league affiliate.
Career
McCord played for two seasons in Seattle, posting totals of 28 and 37 points, and established himself as an NHL prospect. At the close of the 1973–74 season, McCord was given a three-game call-up to Vancouver. However, his career was derailed by injuries, and he appeared in only 26 games for Seattle the following season. After one more season in the minors with the Fort Wayne Komets, he retired in 1976.
