Sunday morning stretch. 🙏

This one hits hard.
Mental health isn’t just about a post a fundraiser or a hashtag.
Tough times and condolences to his family on and off the ice.
Keep fighting and reach out until you get the help you need.

If you know someone’s struggling don’t be quiet
Go beyond checking in go beyond thoughts and prayers, I can’t even start with the depth my fight took me. It was all of you who reached out I will never forget that, saved my life.
If you know someone’s struggling people fighting for their life and you stay silent and cut off or cut them out -do better be better be a difference maker
Remember No one fights alone , sadly too many do

Claude Lemieux carried the torch for Montreal on Monday before Game 3…

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones ❤️💙

[Robbie Rox @rox_robbie]

Very Very sad. He looked so good and happy! A legend, a hero.

[Liam Maguire @Liams_Hockey]

Devastating news about Claude Lemieux. I was with him 20min before he carried the torch Monday night. I grabbed this pic with @KnucklesNilan30 as the two former teammates caught up. I just can't believe it......RIP...
❤️

[Liam Maguire @Liams_Hockey]

We miss him a ton, Howie. Thanks for having me on two years ago, pal. Despite our grief, it was awesome to talk about him.
Notre numéro 10, Guy Lafleur, nous manque à jamais.❤️

@TeamCanada1972 @smorrisonmedia @Johnubacon @CanMusHistory I remember this goal like it was yesterday. I remember saying to my friend at the time, "ok, we're back on track now, we are going to wipe these guys" but little did we all know.

@pulmyears What a loss of a great talent. She was funny, sexy and a great actress in general. Very special talent gone.. so so sad

[Paul Myers @pulmyears]

Men of a certain age (like me) mourn the loss of an early boyhood crush who was also one of the best comic character actors to ever do it.

[Hockey Hall of Fame @HockeyHallFame]

The Hockey Hall of Fame and its members are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Honoured Member and former HHOF CEO & Chairman of the Board, Bill Hay. 

Following an NHL playing career, he became COO of Hockey Canada and president and CEO of the Calgary Flames until being named Chair of the HHOF. Hay joined the HHOF Selection Committee from 1980-1997. Additionally, he was named to the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors, a role in which he served from 1995 until his retirement in 2013, including 15 years as Chairman and CEO. Hay played an integral role in two major expansion projects at the Hall, as well as the D.K. (Doc) Seaman Hockey Resource Centre, the home of the Hall's vast artifact and archival collections. Bill Hay was inducted into the HHOF in 2015 in the Builder Category and was named to the Order of Hockey in Canada in 2021.

The Hockey Hall of Fame organization extends sincere condolences to the family, friends and fans of Bill Hay.

[NHL Alumni @NHLAlumni]

The NHL Alumni Association is saddened by the hockey community's loss of Bill Hay at 88 years old.   

Hay would start his NHL career with the @NHLBlackhawks during the 1959-60 season. He would bust out onto the scene with immediate impact, scoring 18 goals, 37 assists for 55 points in 70 games played. This would earn him an All-Star Game roster spot as
well as winning the Calder Trophy. The Lumsden, Saskatchewan native would have a large role on the Black Hawks, playing on what was known as the “Million Dollar Line,” consisting of himself, Bobby Hull and Murray Balfour. He would then lead the team in assists
with 48, and points with 59 in the 1960-61 campaign in only his second season. To cap off an incredible year, he would go on to end the cup drought in Chicago, winning the Stanley Cup that same year.  

Hay’s career only progressed from there, netting a career-high in points the following season with 11 goals, 52 assists for 63 points. Playing 5 more seasons with the Black Hawks, he would eventually retire in 1967 with a career total of 113 goals, 273 assists
for 386 points in 506 games played.

Although retired, his career in hockey did not slow down. He would lead the @NHLFlames as Team President and CEO. He would also follow in his father Charles Hay’s footsteps who had worked for Hockey Canada, becoming President and Chief Operating Officer.

Hay also devoted time to the @HockeyHallFame, becoming a member of the selection committee in 1980, served on the Board of Directors, and was Chairman and CEO. He would later get the Call to the Hall for the Builder category in 2015, joining his late father
for the same category who was previously inducted in 1974. 

The NHL Alumni Association joins the hockey community in the loss of Bill Hay and extends deep condolences to his family, friends and former teammates.

[The Hockey Samurai 侍 @hockey_samurai]
