A devastating death of a former Boston Bruins forward is announced

The Boston Bruins and the rest of the hockey world today mourn the passing of a former Hockey Canada executive.

Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun was told by Hockey Canada that Murray Costello has passed away at age 90 today. Costello was a former NHL player for the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, and Detroit Red Wings.

While he didn't have an impressive 163-game NHL career, over 5 years, only scoring 32 points(13 G, 19 A) he did manage some time in the game.

He would truly find his calling in the front office as he was a top executive at Hockey Canada for two decades and earned a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 2005.

Hockey Canada's Statement:

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Costello family, and all of the players impacted by Costello's influence on the sport.
