Wendell Edward Young (born August 1, 1963) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He is currently serving as the vice chairman/governor of the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League.
Wendell's moniker is "Ringmaster" as he is currently the only player in hockey history to have won all four cups: the Memorial Cup, Calder Cup, Turner Cup and Stanley Cup.
His Chicago Wolves Jersey #1 was retired in a ceremony at their home rink, The Allstate Arena, (Rosemont, IL) on December 1, 2001. All four cups were on hand to honor his history making achievements. This marked the first time The Chicago Wolves had retired a number since their inception into the then titled IHL (International Hockey League) in 1994.
