Nicholas Joseph Damore (July 10, 1916 - April 16, 1969) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who played in one National Hockey League game for the Boston Bruins during the 1941–42 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1934 to 1952, was mainly spent with the Hershey Bears in the Eastern Amateur Hockey League and American Hockey League.
On January 25, 1942, Damore replaced regular goalie Frank Brimsek, who was unable to play due a broken nose. The Bruins defeated the Montreal Canadiens 7–3. Brimsek returned for the following game.[1] He died in 1969.[2] He is the brother of Hank D'Amore
