The hockey world is mourning the loss of an Original Six legend who sadly passed away at 93-years old.
Yesterday, the Montreal Canadiens took to social media and announced the passing of four-time Stanley Cup Champion, and legend Marcel Bonin.
Bonin originally started his NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings back in 1952-53, he then went on to join the Montreal Canadiens organization during the 1957-58 season and played with the organization for five years.
The entire Canadiens organization is saddened to learn of the passing of Marcel Bonin, who passed away Sunday at the age of 93.
During his five years with the Montreal Canadiens organization, Bonin went on to win three back-to-back Stanley Cups with the organization between 1959-1960.
"In 454 career games with the Red Wings, Bruins and Canadiens, Bonin scored 97 goals and added 175 assists. The 5-foot-10 ,170 lb forward also produced 25 points (11G, 14A) in 50 career playoff appearances, winning his first Stanley Cup with Detroit in 1954-55.
Bonin enjoyed the most productive season of his career in 1959-60 when he recorded 51 points in 59 games with the Canadiens (17-34-51), in addition to tallying five points (1G, 4A) in eight postseason games."

Bonin initially won his first Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings during the 1954 season, he will definitely go down as a legend, and will be missed by many including his friends, family, and teammates.
On behalf of the NY Rangers Insider we send our deepest condolences to Bonin's family and friends as they navigate through this difficult time.
May you rest in peace Marcel Bonin.
