Bruce George Gamble (May 24, 1938 – December 29, 1982) was a professional ice hockey goaltender who played 10 seasons in the NHL between 1962 and 1972, with some years in the minor leagues in between. In the NHL he played 2 games with the New York Rangers, 80 for the Boston Bruins, 210 for the Toronto Maple Leafs and 35 for the Philadelphia Flyers to end his career.
Gamble played 3 seasons with the Port Arthur Bruins of the Thunder Bay Junior A Hockey League between 1953 and 1955. In the 1955–56 season, he backstopped the Port Arthur North Stars to a Memorial Cup berth. The next season he did so again with the Guelph Biltmores of the OHA, and was elected to the 1957 OHA first All-Star team. He made it to the Memorial Cup a third time with the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens, the following year.
Gamble played his first year as a pro with the Vancouver Canucks of the WHL, and received his first 2-game call-up with the New York Rangers. His performance impressed other NHL teams, and the Boston Bruins chose him in the 1959 Intra-League Draft. After a year with Providence Reds in the AHL, Gamble was the team's starting goalie in 1960–61. During the next 4 seasons he played mainly in the minors (Portland Buckaroos, Kingston Frontenacs and Springfield Indians), tallying 28 games for the Bruins in 1961–62.
