Over these last two years we've been losing quite a few legends of the hockey world.
Today we regret to announce that we have lost another member of our hockey family.
Former 8th overall pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 1972, Dave Gardner has sadly passed away:
The NHL Alumni Association is deeply saddened to learn that Dave Gardner has passed away at the age of 70.
Dave was drafted to the @NHL in 1972 to the @CanadiensMTL, 8th overall. He played 350 games in the league for numerous teams, scoring 190 points.
Hockey has run through the Gardner family as Dave's father, Cal, played in the League, as well as his brother, Paul. His son also played the game over seas.
Dave's kindness never went unnoticed, and for those of us who were lucky enough to know him, will continue to be inspired by him each and every day.
We send our deepest condolences to Dave's family, friends, and former teammates during this difficult time.
Gardner had a very successful NHL career and on behalf of House of Hockey, we would like to offer our sincerest condolences to his friends and family.
