In some tragic, unfortunate news, coming out of the hockey world, former Rangers forward and AHL legend Bruce Cline has passed away at the age of 93.
The hockey world lost a wonderful icon last week with the passing of a highly regarded individual whose glorious career left an everlasting mark on the sport.
Bruce Cline, a left-wing great of the New York Rangers, and AHL Hall of Fame inductee, as well as Calder Cup champion four times over, passed away at 93 in Quebec.
Spread over seventeen seasons, Cline employed his talent in the QPJHL, QHL, AHL, and NHL, the New York Rangers among his teams.
Bruce won three straight Calder Cups
He is perhaps most famous for leading the Springfield Indians to three straight Calder Cups between 1959 and 1962, as well as adding another championship with the Providence Reds in the 1955-56 season.
The Springfield Hockey Heritage Society made a sincere tribute and post following receiving the horrific phone call on Friday announcing his death.
'Very sad news came our way Friday, as we received one of those phone calls you wish would never come. Bruce Cline, a member of the AHL Hall of Fame, Springfield Hockey Hall of Fame, Hershey Bears Hall of Fame, a four time Calder Cup Champion, a SHHS member since our inception, a Hockeyday regular since 2013, and a genuine, humble, amazing person, passed away in Quebec, at the age of 93. You will never be forgotten number nine.'
