The Chicago Blackhawks honored longtime player and broadcaster Troy Murray before their home game on Monday night.
According to a report from the Chicago Sun-Times, the tribute took place at the United Center prior to the team’s game with the Utah Mammoth.
A video celebrating Murray’s career was shown on the arena’s video board, followed by a moment of silence.
Murray died on Saturday at the age of 63 after battling cancer since 2021.
The former NHL forward spent much of his career with the Blackhawks, playing 688 games for the franchise.
Murray also won the Selke Trophy in 1986, awarded to the NHL’s best defensive forward.
One of Murray’s most memorable moments came during the final game of the 1988-89 season against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Following his playing career, Murray became a broadcaster for the Blackhawks and was part of the team’s radio coverage during its three Stanley Cup championships in the 2010s.
Former Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville remembered Murray when speaking to reporters in Anaheim: “He’s one of those guys who, in the Blackhawk lore of good guys, is right at the top.”
Murray also won a Stanley Cup while playing for the Colorado Avalanche in 1996.
