The Boston Bruins organization issued a heartbreaking statement earlier today. The team announced that one of their former Captain had passed:
Ed Sandford enjoyed 9 years in the NHL, participating in 502 games and contributing 251 points. Much of his time in the league was dedicated to the Bruins, where he donned the captain's C during the 1954-55 season. He was also a part of the Red Wings and the Blackhawks.
Despite the existing rivalry between the Bruins and Canucks' organizations, we wish to send our deepest condolences to the team, family and friends of Sandford's.
