Stanley Cup champion Paul Masnick tragically passes away
Paul Masnick, former Stanley Cup Champion for the Montreal Canadiens, has sadly passed away at the age of 92.
It is always a sad day when someone from historical NHL days passes away. Today, we are sad to post the news that Paul Masnick, a former Stanley Cup Champion for the Montreal Canadiens in 1953, has passed at 92 years old.
Masnick passed away in his home in Barrie, Ontario. Masnick was the oldest surviving member of the 1953 team before his passing.
Masnick was well known for his power-forward style play, scoring 59 points in his 232 career NHL games. He was most famous for his overtime goal in the 1951 semifinals, where he scored to force a game 7 in Montreal against the Bruins.
Masnick had a life outside of hockey, as well, getting his business degree and selling vacuum cleaners door to door during the summer time and off-season.
Masnick will have a special place in hockey history, leaving an incredible legacy, and Montreal Canadiens fans will rally behind him, as they have during the hard time of Martin St-Louis. We are sending our thoughts to the Masnick family during this time.
