Red Wings legend passes away
Former NHL star and Hockey Canada President Murray Costello tragically passed away over the weekend at the age of 90.
Overall, Costello was a legendary builder who made it into the Hockey Hall of Fame back in 2005. Additionally, Costello received the Order of Canada for his work in the game. He was a huge reason for the growth of women's hockey in Canada and was widely respected by the hockey world.
On top of all of this, he played in the NHL for teams like the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, and even the Chicago Blackhawks.
"From Hockey Canada: 'Deeply saddened to learn that long-time executive Murray Costello, who led the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association and Hockey Canada as president for two decades, passed away Saturday at the age of 90, surrounded by his family.' Was in the HHOF as a builder."
Our heart goes out to Costello's family and friends during this difficult time.
