ST. LOUIS, Mo. (AP, KY3) – Glenn Hall, a Hockey Hall of Famer whose streak of 502 consecutive starts as a goaltender remains an NHL record, has died at age 94.
A league historian in touch with Hall’s son, Pat, said Hall died at a hospital in Stony Plain, Alberta, on Wednesday.
Hall backstopped Chicago to the Stanley Cup in 1961 and was named the most valuable player of the playoffs in 1968 with St. Louis when the Blues reached the final before losing to Montreal.
St. Louis Blues Chairman Tom Stillman released the following statement on the passing of Blues legend and Hockey Hall of Famer Glenn Hall.
“Today, we mourn the loss of a true legend of our game and a foundational figure in St. Louis Blues history: Glenn Hall.
Mr. Hall holds a special place in Blues history as the first player selected by the club in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. From the very beginning, he brought credibility, excellence, and heart to a new team and a new NHL market. His influence extended far beyond the crease — he helped define what it means to wear the Blue Note.
A Hockey Hall of Famer and one of the greatest goaltenders the game has ever known, Mr. Hall’s durability and competitiveness set the standard for generations of players who followed. His contributions to the Blues and to the game of hockey will never be forgotten.
On behalf of the entire St. Louis Blues organization and our fans, we extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Hall’s family and friends and all those whose lives he touched. We are profoundly grateful for his contributions and his legacy, and we are proud that he will forever be linked to the history of the Blues.”
