Rangers and Red Wings Hall of Fame goaltender Ed Giacomin dies at age 86
By STEPHEN WHYNO
AP Hockey Writer
Hall of Fame goaltender Ed Giacomin has died. He was 86.
The New York Rangers and NHL Alumni Association announced Giacomin's death
Monday. An Alumni spokesperson said the organization learned from a board
member of the Detroit Red Wings alumni that Giacomin died at his home Sunday
night.
Giacomin won the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie and was a five-time
All-Star during more than a decade with the Rangers from 1965-76 before
finishing his career with Detroit. His No. 1 is retired in the rafters at
Madison Square Garden in New York, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in
1987.
The Rangers in a statement said Giacomin personified what it meant to play for
the franchise, adding, "You cannot discuss the history of this organization and
not immediately think of Eddie."
