Harold Lang Winkler was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender.Biography
Winkler started his professional hockey career with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Western Canada Hockey League in 1922. He would also play with the Calgary Tigers.

Winkler recorded 15 shutouts in 44 games for the 1927–28 Boston Bruins. Despite the NHL's regular season almost doubling in length from what it was in 1927–28, Winkler's mark is a single-season team record that still stands. Winkler recorded two playoff shutouts for Boston during the 1927 Stanley Cup playoffs. Both games were scoreless ties.
During the 1957–58 season the Stanley Cup was redone. Winkler's name was added to the Stanley Cup as a member of the 1929 Bruins, even though he played the whole season in the minors.
