Sad day in hockey. Former NHLer - Marlie star- member of the @AuroraSHoF and all around great guy Dave Gardner has passed. Not many in our world as well liked as "Gards". A family man from an amazing hockey family. Sadly missed but always remembered. RIP Gards. 🙏❤️
The NHL Alumni Association is deeply saddened to learn that Dave Gardner has passed away at the age of 70.
Dave was drafted to the @NHL in 1972 to the @CanadiensMTL, 8th overall. He played 350 games in the league for numerous teams, scoring 190 points.
Hockey has run through the Gardner family as Dave��s father, Cal, played in the League, as well as his brother, Paul. His son also played the game over seas.
Dave’s kindness never went unnoticed, and for those of us who were lucky enough to know him, will continue to be inspired by him each and every day.
We send our deepest condolences to Dave’s family, friends, and former teammates during this difficult time.
