Biography
Enio James Sclisizzi (August 1, 1925 – June 27, 2012) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. Sclisizzi played 81 games in the National Hockey League. He played with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Black Hawks. Sclisizzi won the Stanley Cup in 1952 with Detroit. When the cup was redone during the 1957-58 season, for some reason his name was omitted from the new version, but his name can still be seen on the original 1952 Detroit team engraving in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

In 1942, the Milton Bricks Tigers won an OHA Junior "C" title. Milton defeated Oakville to advance to the semi-finals and Parry Sound to move on to the finals against the Preston Riversides. In the Schmalz Cup best of three series, which was held at Maple Leaf Gardens, Milton won game one by a score of 6-4, with three goals coming from Milton's future NHL player Enio Schlisizzi, and game two by a score of 10-1.
Sclisizzi made his professional debut in the 1946–47 season for the Indianapolis Capitals American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. He made his NHL debut with the Red Wings on April 5, 1947, against the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1947 Stanley Cup playoffs. Sclisizzi made his regular-season NHL debut on opening day October 15, 1947, but he was sent down to the AHL. Sclisizzi returned to the NHL on March 20, 1948, scoring his first NHL goal in the second period in a game against Toronto. In total, he played 67 regular-season games in the NHL with the Wings.
