A New York Rangers spokesperson confirmed the news after Duguay's family contacted the club. The Sudbury, Ontario native began his career with the Rangers after they chose him 13th overall in the 1977 draft and spent his first six seasons there.
All-Star Production and Team Moves
Duguay earned All-Star honors during the 1981-82 season as a point-a-game contributor. Subsequent trades took him to the Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings before a second stint with the Rangers. He finished his NHL career with 673 points across the regular season and playoffs, then continued playing in Germany and the minors.
Lasting Impact and Later Years
His family had launched a GoFundMe to help cover treatment and travel costs, and his daughter along with Sarah Palin had shared requests for prayers in recent months. The NHL Alumni Association noted his deep passion for the game and love for his family.
