Ron Ellis, forward on Maple Leafs’ 1967 Stanley Cup team, dead at 79
NY Post
Former Toronto Maple Leaf of 16 seasons, Ron Ellis, has died.
He was 79.
The forward was a part of the last Toronto team to win the Stanley Cup in 1967.
This came after he took home a Memorial Cup title in 1964 as a junior hockey player with the Toronto Marlboros.
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ron Ellis,” the Maple Leafs wrote on X. “Ron was one of only five Maple Leafs to skate in more than 1000 games for the club, while also scoring the fifth most goals in team history. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.”
“We send our deepest condolences to Ron’s family, his wife Jan, son RJ, daughter-in-law Renata, friends, and former teammates,” NHL Alumni also posted on X. “Please respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time.”
