A devastating loss to the hockey world, a true legend. Our hearts & deepest sympathies go out to Claude’s family, friends, and all who loved him 🤍🕊️
The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.
Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.
Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.
The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.
In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.
Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.
Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.
He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.
Memorial service details to follow.
@JodySchmidt@mrswhite323 Yes!! They are all so much more than just athletes & we love getting an opportunity to bring that out in them with our interviews! So we’re definitely working towards shining a light on more of the guys — especially the ones that don’t get the limelight that often!

You are too sweet! Thank you so much! Yes, we are absolutely on a mission to work our way through the roster with interviews — it had been so long since we’d had a player on the show & Charlie really reminded us how much we love curating questions for them! Giving our listeners a twist on the standard questions the guys get asked! More to come for sure!

Oh we definitely have thoughts! Charlie should absolutely be in the conversation if a leadership change is on the horizon - he is very passionate about this commitment he’s made to Columbus & even more so about being able to share his career experience with the younger generation of players! Not counting Z out in the slightest, but CC deserves a nod for sure!
@JodySchmidt@CharlieCoyle_3@Hockeypodnet We will be posting the full video version on YouTube soon! It’s definitely even more fun to watch it — we’ll make a post once it’s up!
