Jean Beliveau 1931-2014

The PHN mourns the passing of a hockey legend, Mr. Jean Beliveau.

“No record book can capture, no image can depict, no statue can convey the grandeur of the remarkable Jean Béliveau, whose elegance and skill on the ice earned the admiration of the hockey world while his humility and humanity away from the rink earned the love of fans everywhere,” Bettman said in a statement.

Jean Beliveau won a record 17 Stanley Cups (10 as a player, 7 as part of the Montreal Canadiens front office).
