The Flames said in a news release Monday that Al MacNeil died Sunday in Calgary. No cause of death was provided.

Al MacNeil, a former NHL player who won the Stanley Cup as coach of the Montreal Canadiens, has died. He was 89.

MacNeil never won the Stanley Cup as a player, but his name was tapped into the trophy four times, 1971 with the Canadiens; in 1978 and 1979 with Montreal as director of player personnel; and finally with the Calgary Flames as assistant general manager in 1989.

“The hockey world lost an icon today with the passing of Al MacNeil,” said Flames President of Hockey Operations Don Maloney. “‘Chopper’ was a Stanley Cup champion and a Calder Cup champion but most importantly ‘he was our friend and mentor. We will sincerely miss his company and our conversations.”

Al MacNeil, a former NHL D-man who died, was part of the Flames for over two decades, won three Stanley Cups and captured three Calder Cups with the Canadiens' AHL affiliate.
