The New York Islanders announced Friday that legendary forward and Hockey Hall of Famer Clark Gillies died at the age of 67.
Islanders president and general manager Lou Lamoriello released the following statement:
"The entire Islanders community is devastated by the loss of Clark Gillies. He epitomized what it means to be a New York Islander. The pride he felt wearing the Islanders sweater on the ice was evident by his willingness to do anything to win. Off the ice, he was just as big of a presence, always taking the time to give back to the local community.
