The Flyers are mourning the death of Marcel Pelletier, an original member of the team's operations staff who played a key role in helping construct the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup championship teams.

Mr. Pelletier died on Saturday at the age of 89 in Cherry Hill.

"Marcel worked closely with Keith Allen as they put together a team that would turn the hockey world upside down by winning back to back Stanley Cups," Flyers president Paul Holmgren said in a statement released by the team. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Marcel's family at this difficult time.
