Daniel Kenneth Newman (born January 26, 1952) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 126 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for three teams between 1976 and 1980. He had natural offensive talent and was capable of mixing it up when the game turned rough.

Playing career

Newman played two seasons with St. Clair College then split the 1972–73 season between the American Hockey League (AHL) and International Hockey League (IHL). He then played three years with the Port Huron Flags/Wings and scored 39 goals in 1975–76 for the New York Rangers affiliate. Newman played 100 games for the Rangers over two seasons.

Newman was claimed in the 1978 NHL Waiver Draft by the powerhouse Montreal Canadiens and he played 16 games for them in 1978–79. He also dressed for one playoff game, but did not play; consequently, his name was left off the Stanley Cup, because he did not qualify. He was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in 1979–80 along with Dave Lumley in exchange for the draft pick the Habs used to take Ric Nattress. Newman retired in 1980 after playing ten games in Edmonton and the rest in the minors. He currently is playing with the Detroit Red Wings Alumni.
