The Detroit Red Wings send our condolences to Eddie’s family, friends and former teammates.
Joyal spent three seasons in Detroit, registering 49 points (20-29-49) in 107 games.
The NHL Alumni Association is deeply saddened to learn that Eddie Joyal has passed away at the age of 86.
From Edmonton, Alberta, Eddie’s NHL career began during the 1962-63 season with the Detroit Red Wings, where he’d be mentored by none other than Mr. Hockey himself, Gordie Howe. Eddie played his first three NHL seasons with Detroit before playing a single season with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1965-66.
As the NHL expanded in 1967, Eddie joined the Los Angeles Kings, netting 23 goals during the Kings’ inaugural season, then followed up with 33 the following year. Eddie played 318 games for Los Angeles from 1967 to 1972, joining the Philadelphia Flyers partway through the 1971-72 season, playing the final 26 of his 465 NHL games with Philadelphia.
Eddie returned home to Alberta the following year, suiting up for the WHA’s Alberta Oilers (later becoming the Edmonton Oilers) from 1972 to 1976. The Edmonton Oilers said goodbye to Rexall Place over the course of the 2015-16 season, their home since 1974. In April 2016, the Oilers honoured Eddie with an “Eddie Joyal Day” at Rexall Place, with his family in attendance to share in this honour, and they described how moving and emotional the experience was for all involved.
We send our heartfelt condolences to Eddie’s family, friends, and former teammates during this incredibly difficult time.
