Victor Merrick Ripley (May 30, 1906 – March 26, 1962) was a professional hockey centerman who played 7 seasons in the National Hockey League for the Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers and St. Louis Eagles.[1] Ripley was later a golf pro at the Desert Inn Country Club in Las Vegas. He died of a heart attack on March 26, 1962.[2]

Ripley scored the 1,000th regular-season goal in Boston Bruins' history. It was Boston's lone goal in a 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Garden on December 12, 1933. It was the same game in which Toronto's Ace Bailey suffered a horrific career-ending head injury.
