The Philadelphia Flyers announced the passing of Stanley Cup winner Rick MacLeish on Tuesday. He was 66.
"With the passing of MacLeish, the Flyers have lost one of their legends," team president Paul Holmgren said in a statement.
MacLeish spent the majority of his career with the Flyers, scoring 328 goals and adding 369 assists in 741 games with Philadelphia. He was a force on back-to-back Flyers teams that won the Stanley Cup in 1974 and 1975, scoring a combined 24 goals in 34 games over two playoff runs.
MacLeish scored the Cup-winning goal when the Flyers won their first championship in '74.

"Ricky was the most talented layer the Flyers had during the 1970s," Bobby Clarke said. "Life after hockey wasn't fair to Ricky. He left us far too soon."
MacLeish was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame in 1990.
He's survived by his wife Charlene, his daughters Danielle and Brianna, and his grandchildren.
