Spent most of the season in the minors. #18 Bryan Watson (D) – played in 8 regular-season games.

Wakely was dressed for games 3-4-5 (of 5) in the Stanley Cup Semi-Finals due to Charlie Hodge being injured. When Toronto won the Stanley Cup in 1962, 1963, and 1964, they took up more room than was allowed for engraving their winning members' names on it. So when Montreal won the Stanley Cup, the ring was finished off with 32 members. Had the ring been engraved correctly in 1964–65, there would have been more than enough room to include all 27 members of the Montreal Canadiens' 1965–66 roster with their full first and last names and non-playing positions.
