We were saddened to learn of the passing of Hockey Hall-of-Famer Bert Olmstead.
Olmstead played 14 seasons in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, and Toronto Maple Leafs. In those 14 seasons he played in the Stanley Cup final a remarkable 11 times, and won it five times. Four of those Stanley Cup victories came in eight seasons with Montreal.
Bert Olmstead was one of a select few players who played on a line with the two greatest Montreal Canadiens legends of all time: Maurice Richard and Jean Beliveau.
