Two-time Stanley Cup Champion Jean Potvin passes away

Some sad news to report from the hockey world on Monday night. The New York Islanders announced that two-time Stanley Cup Champion Jean Potvin passed away at the age of 72.

Potvin spent parts of eleven seasons in the National Hockey League with the Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders (two stints), Cleveland Barons, and the Minnesota North Stars. In 613-career games, he tallied 287 points (63 G, 224 A), and 478 penalty minutes.

The Ottawa (Ontario) native was a member of the Islanders for their 1980 and 1981 Stanley Cup Championships along with his brother, Hockey Hall of Famer, Denis Potvin.

Our thoughts are with the Potvin family at this difficult time.
