Former Flyers and Blackhawks defenseman Glen Cochrane, known for his toughness on the ice and his battle with cancer, has passed away at 65. Drafted by the Flyers in 1978, Cochrane spent six seasons with the team.
Cochrane played a vital role in the Flyers' defense in the early 1980s, ranking 10th in team history for penalty minutes. He was part of the Maine Mariners, the Flyers' AHL affiliate, winning the Calder Cup Championship in 1979.
In 257 regular-season games with the Flyers, Cochrane amassed 1,110 penalty minutes, 77 points, and a plus-74 rating at even strength. His physical style of play made him one of the NHL's fiercest fighters and checkers.
