Some think he is the best hockey player ever. Certainly right up there with Gretzky. He played into his 50's on the same team with one, or maybe two, of his sons, also professional hockey players. He suffered a stroke several years ago.

Such sad news. What a great man. May he rest in peace. My family lived in Detroit for some time, and hockey was so popular. But, that was before players made the big bucks. Roger Crozier lived down the street from us in a very modest home he and his wife rented.

Indeed one of the greats of hockey. Sad news, but a long, well-lived life.

And also a gentleman, an example to other athletes.
