Hockey World Mourns The Passing of Former NHLer and Hockey Broadcaster

According to reports this evening former NHL goaltender and broadcaster Greg Millen has passed away.

Millen played over 600 games in the NHL and had a successful career before continuing his passion for hockey off of the ice as a broadcaster.

In his NHL career Millen had stops with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Quebec Nordiques, St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, Detroit Red Wings, and Chicago Blackhawks.

After his playing career ended Millen began the journey into broadcasting which began by covering the Ottawa Senators during their maiden voyage season before heading to Hockey Night in Canada.

As a result of his incredible impact on the hockey world and the game itself throughout his life the entire NHL community has now come together to mourn but also celebrate the life of Greg Millen.

Greg Millen clearly had a profound impact on the hockey community and generations of not only fans but players around the league as well that will continue to live on and be remembered for many years to come.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Greg Millen's family during such a difficult time.
