Matt Pavelich obit

Pavelich, first linesman elected to Hockey Hall of Fame, dies at 92

Worked 19 consecutive Stanley Cup Finals between 1961-79

 He was not on the list.

Matt Pavelich, enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1987 in the Referee/Linespersons category, died on Friday at age 92. His death was reported on social media by his son, Mark, who said that Pavelich was “surrounded by the people who loved him” at the end.

The first linesman inducted into the Hall of Fame, the category expanded in 1987 to include linesmen along with referees, Pavelich officiated in the NHL for 23 seasons, his body of work totaling 1,727 regular-season games as a linesman and 14 more as a referee, another 245 games worked in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

“No linesman in the history of the National Hockey League was more universally respected nor more widely admired than Matt Pavelich,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. “A true icon of the profession, he worked a remarkable 19 straight Stanley Cup Finals from 1961 through 1979 -- highlights of a prolific on-ice career that spanned 23 seasons, comprised 1,741 regular-season games and 245 Stanley Cup Playoff Games and was recognized in 1987 with his becoming the first linesman enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

“Pavelich personified professionalism and integrity while possessing a warm personal touch that enabled him to develop working relationships with players and coaches. Upon his retirement, Pavelich shared his experience and wisdom with younger referees and linesmen during eight years as an NHL Supervisor of Officials. The National Hockey League mourns his passing and sends its deepest condolences to his family and many friends throughout hockey.”

Born March 12, 1934 in Parkhill, Ontario, Pavelich worked the 1957 and 1958 Stanley Cup Finals, and then 19 consecutive Finals between 1961-79 for a total of 56 Cup Final games.

Famously, Pavelich and late Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden worked the final games of their careers on May 21, 1979, Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. The Canadiens’ 4-1 victory against the New York Rangers gave Montreal the 22nd of its 24 championships to date.

Pavelich and Dryden were firmly connected by the final siren of that game, and by a rolling puck that was headed toward the glove of the 1983 Hall of Fame-bound goalie as the celebrations began in the Forum.

This was the sixth Stanley Cup title for Dryden in his seven full Canadiens seasons, with him having won his first after just six regular-season games in 1970-71.

What Dryden didn’t know at that instant was that this was also the final NHL game for Pavelich.

Dryden wanted the puck as a final souvenir, but so did Pavelich. The goalie surrendered it to the veteran linesman, but with a survivor’s understanding. If Pavelich were to survive Dryden, he would keep the puck forever. If Dryden were to survive Pavelich, the puck would come back to him.

As it turned out, Pavelich would keep the puck, which presumably will remain with his family. Dryden died on Sept. 5, 2025, after a battle with cancer.

On the red carpet of the Hall of Fame, arriving to celebrate the Class of 2018, Pavelich, then 84, laughed about the understanding he had with Dryden.

“Yes, I still have that puck, and I just moved it in the house from where it was,” he told NHL.com. “I hid it because my wife throws things out all the time. It’s not on display, it’s hidden away.”

Pavelich said he didn’t have an inventory of the number of pucks in his collection.

“My son, when he was in maybe the seventh grade, used to take them and sell them,” he said, laughing again. “I’d go to school to a parent-teacher thing and the teacher would say, ‘Oh, I bought two pucks from your son.’”

Pavelich still cherished memories of his own 1987 induction night, enshrined with players Bob Clarke, Jacques Laperriere and the late Eddie Giacomin, as well as John Ziegler, the late NHL president who was inducted as in the Builders category.

“It was in Detroit. I had all my family there, which was great,” he said. “My older brother, Marty, who played for the Detroit Red Wings (from 1947-57), was there.”

Marty Pavelich died in 2024 at age 96.

Mark Pavelich remembered his father in a Facebook post on Friday, saying, “To us, he was simply Dad. He was a husband to my mother, Dragica, a father, a grandfather, and a man who would light up any room. Somewhere along the way he even got himself and Mom invited to Studio 54 during an All-Star trip to New York.

“He taught me that respect is earned, that you call it the way you see it, and that you never back down from doing the right thing. I carried those lessons into every fight, every event and every business I have ever built.”

The Hockey Hall of Fame’s biography published upon his induction related Pavelich serving as referee-in-chief of the Northern Michigan Intermediate League by the time he was 20, having worked minor hockey games since age 14.

Pavelich’s work in the American Hockey League in 1955-56 so impressed NHL referee-in-chief Carl Voss that he was promoted to the NHL by the next season, making his debut on Oct. 11, 1956.

While his older brother Marty had been with the Red Wings as a player since 1947, the pair was the first such unique tandem in the NHL.

“Matt's inauguration into the officials' ranks was particularly unpleasant during a game at the Detroit Olympia in 1956,” the Hall of Fame wrote. “Red Wings fans had a penchant for throwing octopi on the ice, and this game was no exception. But Pavelich, as the junior of the three officials, was responsible for clearing the ice of the heavy, ugly creature, a task he performed with requisite disgust while his colleagues enjoyed themselves at his expense.”

Pavelich was once knocked cold while breaking up a fight between Lou Fontinato of the Canadiens and Earl Ingarfield of the Rangers. He stepped into a haymaker from Fontinato and was out like a light. When he was revived by the trainer, smelling salts being waved under his nose, all he could hear was Fontinato and Ingarfield arguing over who should get credit for the knockout.

Following his retirement from active officiating, Pavelich served eight more years as a Supervisor of Officials, his service to the NHL ending following the 1993-94 season after 38 years.

Andre Lacroix obit

Lacroix, original member of Flyers, WHA’s all-time leading scorer, dies at 81

Center also played for Black Hawks, Whalers, with Canada in Summit Series 

He was not on the list.

Andre Lacroix, an original member of the Philadelphia Flyers and the leading scorer in World Hockey Association history, has died at the age of 81.

Lacroix began his NHL career with the Flyers in 1967-68 and played 245 games with them over four seasons. The center led Philadelphia in points twice, finishing with 56 points (24 goals, 32 assists) in 75 games in 1968-69, and 58 points (22 goals, 36 assists) in 74 games in 1969-70.

Lacroix then was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks for 1971-72 before joining the WHA with the Philadelphia Blazers the following season, when he led the league with 124 points (50 goals, 74 assists). He also played for the New York Golden Blades/Jersey Knights, San Diego Mariners, Houston Aeros and New England Whalers over his seven WHA seasons.

In 1974-75, his first season with San Diego, Lacroix won his second WHA scoring title with 147 points (41 goals, 106 assists) in 78 games. He also set the professional record for assists that season; at the time, he was the only player other than Bobby Orr (102 assists for the Boston Bruins in 1970-71) who had ever reached 100 in a single season of professional hockey. The record stood until Wayne Gretzky had 109 assists for the Edmonton Oilers in 1980-81.

Lacroix is the WHA all-time leader in points (798, including 251 goals), assists (547) and games played (551).

Following the WHA-NHL merger in 1979, Lacroix returned to the NHL for a sixth and final season, playing for the Hartford Whalers in 1979-80 before retiring. He finished with 198 points (79 goals, 119 assists) in 325 NHL regular-season games and seven points (two goals, five assists) in 16 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

Lacroix also played for Team Canada in the 1974 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, when he had seven points (one goal, six assists) in eight games. Lacroix scored the game-winner in Canada’s only victory of the series, a 4-1 win in Game 2 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

Ron Duguay obit

Duguay, popular Rangers player during late 1970s, dies at 69

Forward famous for long, curly hair skated 8 of 12 NHL seasons in New York 

He was not on the list.

Ron Duguay, who played 12 seasons in the NHL, mostly for the New York Rangers, died Thursday at the age of 69.

The former forward was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer that he told the New York Post originated in the colon, adding that he battled the disease for more than a year while losing his appendix and gallbladder.

"The New York Rangers organization mourns the loss of Ron Duguay, one of the most popular players in franchise history," the Rangers said in a statement.  "Ron's signature skating style -- with his hair flowing as he moved down the ice -- captivated The Garden Faithful, and his skill, tenacity, and charisma earned him the admiration of all New Yorkers. We join the hockey community in sending our condolences to Ron's friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time."

Duguay is entrenched in Rangers lore and one of the most popular players in team history. He played eight seasons in New York (1977-83, 1986-88) and was on the team that advanced to the 1979 Stanley Cup Final, a five-game loss to the Montreal Canadiens. He had 620 points (274 goals, 346 assists) in 860 regular-season games for the Rangers, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins, and 53 points (31 goals, 22 assists) in 89 Stanley Cup Playoff games. He retired from hockey in 2008-09 and was a Rangers analyst on MSG Network for 12 years.

"The NHL mourns the passing of Ron Duguay, a charismatic figure who made a lasting impression on the game," the League said in a statement. "We extend our deepest condolences to Ron’s family, friends and the many fans who admired him throughout the hockey community."

Duguay played junior hockey for his hometown Sudbury Wolves of the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League, his 134 points (42 goals, 92 assists) in 1975-76 helping them win the Hamilton Spectator Trophy as the team with the best record in the regular season (47-11 with eight ties) and the OMJHL finals, a six-game loss to Hamilton. He was selected by the Winnipeg Jets with the No. 3 pick in the 1976 World Hockey Association Draft, played for second-place Canada at the 1977 IIHF World Junior Championship and joined the Rangers directly from juniors after they chose him in the first round (No. 13) of the 1977 NHL Draft.

The 1978-79 Rangers, guided by coach/general manager Fred Shero with future Hockey Hall of Famer Phil Esposito and a young core that included Duguay, Ron Greschner, Steve Vickers, Dave Maloney, Don Maloney and Don Murdoch, went 40-29 with 11 ties to clinch a playoff berth for the first time in two seasons. Led by goalie John Davidson, New York eliminated the Kings and Philadelphia Flyers and upset the top-seeded New York Islanders in six games of the NHL Semifinals to advance to the Final. Duguay became famous for his long, curly hair flowing while he skated without a helmet, and joined Esposito, Dave Maloney and Anders Hedberg in a 1979 Sasson jeans television commercial known for the jingle, "Oo La La! Sasson."

Rangers coach Mike Sullivan, a teammate of Duguay with San Diego of the International Hockey League in 1990-91, said his death is "a big loss for all of us, the Rangers organization in particular."

"We know he was a very popular Ranger. I had the privilege to play with Ron as a teammate for a year in the International Hockey League," Sullivan said Thursday in Toronto. "A great man and a terrific hockey player.

"I grew up watching some of these guys when he played with the Rangers, and, you know, when I had the opportunity to play with him and Charlie Simmer. And two guys that had pretty successful NHL careers. It was the International Hockey League back in the day for those of you guys that are old enough to remember it. And I was in awe, those two guys, because I grew up watching them play in the NHL and just to have the opportunity to be one of their teammates was a great thrill for me as a young player."

Duguay scored nine seconds into an 8-3 win against the Flyers at the Philadelphia Spectrum on April 6, 1980, to tie a Rangers record shared by Fred Cook (Jan. 23, 1927) and Jean Ratelle (Nov. 5, 1971). He was traded to the Red Wings on June 13, 1983, reunited with the Rangers via a trade with the Penguins on Jan. 21, 1987, and played the final two seasons of his NHL career after he was sent to the Kings on Feb. 23, 1988.​

"Ron lived life with an extraordinary passion, an infectious smile, and a heart that was truly larger than life, the NHL Alumni Association said in a social media post. "Above all else, his deepest and most sincere love was for his family. They were his greatest pride, his greatest joy, and always closest to his heart.

"His dedication and passion for the game of hockey were unwavering. Hockey was more than a sport to Ron; it was a part of who he was, a lifelong love that he carried with pride and shared so generously with others. But perhaps what made Ron most special was his humanity. His genuine compassion, kindness, and willingness to help others always extended far beyond himself. He cared deeply, gave generously of his heart, and had a remarkable way of making everyone around him feel valued and appreciated."

In the NHL, Duguay was noted for his long curly hair which would blow behind him as he skated without a helmet. He and teammates Phil Esposito, Dave Maloney and Anders Hedberg appeared in a TV commercial for Sasson Jeans.

On December 1, 1983, Duguay married California model Robin Bobo; the couple had two daughters before their divorce. In the 1990s, he married former fashion model Kim Alexis. After marrying Alexis, Duguay moved to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. The couple divorced in 2016.

In 2022, Slate and other publications referred to him as the "reported beau" of former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. In February 2022, Duguay confirmed that the couple was indeed dating. In January 2022, Duguay was seen dining outdoors with Palin in a restaurant, Elio's, on Second Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Palin had then recently tested positive for COVID-19. A photographer was allegedly assaulted by Duguay after the photographer questioned the danger of being in the company of Palin after her positive diagnosis.

In February 2026, Duguay's family announced that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in 2024.

From 2007 to 2018, Duguay was an analyst for MSG Network's television coverage of New York Rangers games, also appearing regularly on MSG's weekly Hockey Night Live! program. Duguay's contract with MSG expired in 2018 and was not renewed.

On March 21 and 22, 2009, nearly six years after playing his final professional game, Duguay played two games in the Eastern Professional Hockey League (EPHL), one game each with the Brooklyn Aces and the Jersey Rockhoppers, to raise money for the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization associated with Madison Square Garden.[20] Duguay signed a waiver and played his game with the Brooklyn Aces without a helmet, which allowed his hair to flow free as it did when he played in the NHL. With 37 seconds left in regulation, he assisted on the game-tying goal, but the Aces lost 4–3 in overtime.

In 2009, Duguay competed in the first season of the Battle of the Blades skating competition on CBC Television, partnered with Barbara Underhill. The charity he skated for was World Vision Canada.

On December 31, 2011, Duguay participated in the 2012 Winter Classic Alumni game pitting legends of the Rangers against the legends of the Philadelphia Flyers.

During Duguay's time with the Rangers, he took part in some of team president Sonny Werblin's schemes to make the Rangers more hip and visible in disco-era New York City. This includes singing on "Hockey Sock Rock", written by Alan Thicke. The song featured vocals by Duguay, Phil Esposito, Pat Hickey, Dave Maloney and John Davidson. It was released as a 45, as Platinum Records 1217–75 in 1979.

Bobby Gould, former Washington Capitals forward, dies at 69

 

He was not on the list.

Bobby Gould, who played most of his 11-year NHL career with the Washington Capitals, has died. He was 69.

The death was announced Saturday in social media posts by the Capitals and the NHL. The cause of death was not disclosed.

"The Washington Capitals organization is deeply saddened by the passing of alumnus Bobby Gould," the team posted. "Gould spent eight seasons with the Capitals from 1981 to 1989, appearing in 600 games. A consistent scoring threat, he reached the 20-goal mark four times and recorded a career-high 50 points during the 1986-87 season."

He started his career with the Atlanta/Calgary Flames and played his last season with the Boston Bruins, helping the team reach the Stanley Cup Final in 1990 where they lost to the Edmonton Oilers.

Gould, from Petrolia, Ontario, scored 145 goals and had 159 assists in his career. He also had 572 penalty minutes.

He twice finished third in voting for the Frank J. Selke Trophy for top defensive forward, first after the 1982-83 season, when Philadelphia's Bobby Clarke won it, and again in 1986-87 when it was awarded to the Flyers' Dave Poulin.

"Beyond the rink, Gould was valued for the relationships he built and the positive impact he made on those around him," the Capitals posted.

Gould was drafted by the Atlanta Flames of the National Hockey League in the seventh round, 118th overall, of the 1977 NHL amateur draft. He was also drafted by the Calgary Cowboys of the World Hockey Association in the eighth round, 70th overall, of the 1977 WHA Amateur Draft. Gould never played in the WHA, although he did eventually play in Calgary; after one game for the Atlanta Flames in 1979–80 he relocated to Calgary with the team the following season. He played parts of the next two seasons, 1980–81 and 1981–82, for the Calgary Flames before being traded to the Washington Capitals on November 25, 1981, along with Randy Holt for Pat Ribble and a second round selection from the 1983 NHL entry draft.

After three seasons of bouncing between the minors and the NHL, Gould finally got a chance to play full-time at the NHL level with the Capitals and made the most of it, scoring 18 goals and 31 points in his first 60 games. He continued to play well with three straight seasons with over 20 goals, peaking in 1986–87 with a career-high 23 goals and 50 points.

Gould is also remembered for a March 20, 1987, fight with Mario Lemieux. Giving up 5 inches and 25 lbs, Gould ended up breaking Lemieux's jaw with a solid right uppercut. Lemieux spent the night at George Washington University Hospital. "The first thing that came to mind when he said, 'Let's go,' was that I could get him off the ice for five minutes," Gould said. "I never thought about hurting him." Lemieux would not fight again in the NHL for another 9 years.

Nearing the end of his career, Gould was traded by the Capitals to the Boston Bruins for defenseman Alain Cote on September 28, 1989. This was Gould's final NHL season, and he helped the Bruins reach the Stanley Cup finals, including advancing past his former team, the Capitals. Gould played for the Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League in 1990–91 before retiring altogether.
