Don Edwards (born September 28, 1955 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada)[1] is a retired former professional ice hockey goaltender who played ten seasons in the National Hockey League for the Buffalo Sabres, Calgary Flames, and Toronto Maple Leafs. He won the Vezina Trophy along with Bob Sauve in 1980. He played in the 1980 All-Star Game and backed up Mike Liut in the 1981 Canada Cup.

On February 24, 1982, Edwards was a part of history as he gave up Wayne Gretzky's 77th goal of the 1981-82 NHL season in a game vs. the Edmonton Oilers at Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. Gretzky broke Phil Esposito's former single season record of 76 goals and finished the year with 92, which still stands as an NHL record.

Edwards was traded to Calgary in 1982 and then to Toronto in 1985. He retired after the 1986 playoffs.

Edwards is now the general manager of the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League.[2]
