Wayne Gordon King is a retired professional ice hockey centre who played in the National Hockey League for the California Golden Seals. During the 1973-74 season, King piled up 34 goals and 34 assists, skating for the Salt Lake Golden Eagles of the Western Hockey League, the Seals' top farm team. A left-shot operating from the opposite wing, his performance earned him WHL Second Team All-Star Right Wing honors at season's end. Following his retirement from professional hockey in 1977, King continued as an amateur forward, joining the Senior A Barrie Flyers, and later the Collingwood Shipbuilders and Midland Athletics intermediate clubs in the Ontario Hockey Association.
