Four Time Stanley Cup Winner and Beloved Montreal Canadien Sadly Passes Away
A beloved member of the Montreal Canadiens and a player who won four Stanley Cups in the NHL has sadly passed away
A four-time winner of the NHL's Stanley Cup, and a beloved member of the Montreal Canadiens has sadly passed away at the age of 93.
Marcel Bonin, a native of Montreal who won three Stanley Cups with the team, was the oldest living Montreal Canadien to have won a Cup during his career following the death of Paul Masnick, who died in March of 2024 at the age of 92.
"Born on September 8, 1931, Bonin played his first NHL game with the Detroit Red Wings on December 27, 1952, in Montreal against the Canadiens. The left winger played three seasons with Detroit and one with the Boston Bruins before joining the Canadiens ahead of the 1957-58 season. Bonin, a native of Montreal, won three straight Stanley Cups with the Canadiens between 1958 and 1960."
Bonin's first Stanley Cup in the league came with the Detroit Red Wings in a final against the Montreal Canadiens.
"In 454 career games with the Red Wings, Bruins and Canadiens, Bonin scored 97 goals and added 175 assists. The 5-foot-10 ,170 lb forward also produced 25 points (11G, 14A) in 50 career playoff appearances, winning his first Stanley Cup with Detroit in 1954-55."
Bonin's death comes just days after the Rob Trumbley, a Vancouver Canucks draft pick pick who had a long career in professional hockey tragically passed away at the age of 50.
Our sincere condolences to the family, friends and fans of both men.
