Former Philadelphia Flyers goaltender and Hockey Hall of Famer Bernie Parent has died at the age of 80.
The Flyers confirmed the news in a post on social media.
Parent, a native of Montreal, spent 14 seasons in the NHL from 1965-79. He made his debut with the Boston Bruins, and also spent time with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He played one season in the World Hockey Association with the Philadelphia Blazers, in 1972-73.
He spent the majority of his time with the Flyers, where he won two Conn Smythe Trophies and two Stanley Cups.
In 608 career NHL games, Parents held a 2.55 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1984 - the first Flyers player to have that honour, and is one of six Flyers players to have their number retired.
