**Calgary, AB – April 7, 2025** – The hockey world mourns the sudden passing of Greg Millen, a former NHL goaltender and long-time broadcaster, at the age of 67. The news was announced today by the NHL Alumni Association.

Millen, a 6th-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1977, enjoyed a 14-year NHL career. He played for six teams – Pittsburgh, Hartford, St. Louis, Quebec, Chicago, and Detroit – appearing in 602 regular season games.
