TAYLOR HALL IS A STANLEY CUP CHAMPION

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

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.

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn that Mel Bridgman has passed away at the age of 70.

After recording 157 points in just 66 games for the Victoria Cougars of the Western Canada Hockey League (now the WHL) in 1974-75, the Philadelphia Flyers selected Mel first overall in the 1975 NHL amateur draft.

Mel made an immediate impact with the Flyers, scoring his first career goal in his first career game on October, 9, 1975, following it up by scoring his second goal in as many career games.

Mel played his first 462 NHL games in a Flyers sweater, before suiting for the Calgary Flames, New Jersey Devils, Detroit Red Wings, and Vancouver Canucks, respectively. Mel finished his career with 701 points across 977 regular-season games from 1975 to 1989.

Always a trusted and dependable teammate, Mel twice served as team captain on two occasions over the course of his 14 NHL seasons, with the Flyers from 1979 to 1981, and with the New Jersey Devils from 1984 to 87.

In the summer of 1991, two years removed from his final season of play, Mel was named the first general manager of the expansion Ottawa Senators and would serve in that role until 1993.

Mel was honoured with an induction into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame in 2005.

We send our deepest condolences to Mel’s family, friends, and former teammates during this incredibly difficult time.
