He was a beloved figure on-and-off the ice.

Tuesday, the hockey world is mourning the death of former NHL player and longtime broadcaster, Greg Millen.

The NHL alumni association announced the news of the 67 year old on social media Monday, but did not give the cause of his sudden death.

Millen suited up in 14 NHL seasons with six different teams which included the Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, St. Louis Blues and more.

Millen’s long career in hockey continued on after that, he slid right into broadcasting, and became very well-known on CBC’s “hockey night in Canada” and the NHL on Sportsnet.
