The hockey community is mourning the sudden loss of alumni member and longtime NHL goaltender Greg Millen at the age of 67 on Monday, following the news from the alumni association.
NHL alumni announced that we have sadly lost another one of our own on Monday, revealing that longtime goaltender of 14 seasons, Greg Millen, has passed away far too young.
Millen leaves behind his wife and four kids, according to the NHL alumni's statement shared.

It is with heavy hearts we share the sudden passing of Greg Millen today. He played 14 seasons between the pipes in the National Hockey League for six teams: the Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, St. Louis Blues, Quebec Nordiques, Chicago Blackhawks, and Detroit Red Wings. Over his NHL career, Millen appeared in more than 600 regular-season games.
Reporters quickly did their parts to show respects for the longtime netminder.
Wow. Awful news. Greg was a true gentleman. Thinking of the Millen family and all of his friends.
Said DailyFaceoff'sFrank SeravalliThis is just gutting. A good man gone far too soon.
Said TSN's Chris JohnstonAwful day for everyone who worked with Greg. Loved hockey and his role in it.
The only thing he loved more was his growing family: wife, children and, now, grandchildren. Very, very sorry for their loss

Rest in Peace, Greg.
