Louis Robert Blake (August 16, 1914 – November 26, 2008) was an American ice hockey player who played with the Boston Bruins in the 1935–1936 National Hockey League season.
After three years of hockey in high school, Blake began his professional career at the age of 17 in the Central Hockey League.
Within two years he was one of the Canadian-American Hockey League's top scorers and was given an opportunity to play with the Bruins in 1935. His tenure with the Bruins would be his only season in the National Hockey League, and Blake returned to playing in smaller leagues, eventually settling with the American Hockey League's Buffalo Bisons.
Blake spent seven seasons with the team, including a term as captain and a break during World War II, where he fought in the Pacific Theater.
He played on minor teams for two more years after the Bisons, retiring in 1951 as a member of the Cincinnati Mohawks.
He later coached high school hockey and was inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985.
Blake died at the age of 94 in 2008.
