Boston Bruins Legend Milt Schmidt Passes Away

2016 was a tough year for the world. Many legendary actors, singer, performers, and athletes passed away, leaving the world aching. While the page has now turned to 2017, time still moves on, the grains of sand still fall, and tough times still occur. Unfortunately, reports coming out of Boston on Wednesday say that the legendary Milt Schmidt has passed away. Schmidt was the oldest former-NHL player at 98 years old.

When people outside of Boston name Bruins’ legends, a few names always come up. Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque, Phil Esposito, Eddie Shore.
