After washing his hands of the NHL, Red Dutton came back to Calgary and co-founded the construction firm of Burns & Dutton. You can still see their name stamped on many of the sidewalks in the older neighbourhoods of the city. Dutton was also a key man in the consortium that built McMahon Stadium, and a trustee of the Stanley Cup.
I think of him as one of the underappreciated builders of both the NHL and Calgary.
