Former NHL goaltender and longtime hockey broadcaster Greg Millen has died at 67.

Millen spent 14 years in the NHL from 1978-92, playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Hartford Whalers, St. Louis Blues, Quebec Nordiques, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings.

He played in 604 games, making 582 starts and recording a 3.88 goals-against average and a save percentage of .873.

He immediately went into broadcasting following the conclusion of his career, covering the Ottawa Senators during their inaugural season in 1992-93.

Millen, who was from Toronto, was also a part of CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada and the NHL on Sportsnet. In all, he covered three Olympic Games, two World Cups of Hockey, 12 Stanley Cup finals and 12 NHL all-star games.
