\n

The NHL and greater sports world continues to mourn the loss of two-time Stanley Cup champion Claude Lemieux<\/a>, who died on Thursday. He was 60.<\/p>\n

Lemieux\u2019s death came as a surprise, as he carried the torch at the Montreal Canadiens\u2019<\/a> home arena Monday before the team\u2019s Game 3 matchup against the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference final. In his red and blue Canadiens sweater, No. 32, Lemieux smiled and carried a flame toward a darkened rink.<\/p>\n

Tributes quickly poured in as news of Lemieux\u2019s death spread, with his daughter among those who remembered one of hockey\u2019s most respected \u2014 and polarizing \u2014 figures.<\/p>\n

After reposting a New Jersey Devils<\/a> tribute to her father on Instagram Stories, Claudia Lemieux shared a heartfelt message of her own. “No words to express the level of devastation we feel. I love you forever daddy. Forever your only girl.”<\/p>\n

Claude Lemieux\u2019s son, Brendan, also honored his father by sharing a photo featuring three generations of the family on social media.<\/p>\n

“I love you dad! My son\u2019s favorite person is going to watch from above for a while. We will see you,” he wrote<\/a> along with a red heart emoji. Brendan inherited his father\u2019s passion for hockey and went on to spend a decade in the NHL, most recently playing for Carolina during the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n

Lemieux authored one of the most famous goals in Canadiens history as a rookie in 1986, slipping a backhander over Hartford goaltender Mike Liut\u2019s glove and into the top corner in Game 7 of the second round.<\/p>\n

Lemieux grew up in Mont-Laurier in western Quebec.<\/p>\n

Former Canadiens center Doug Gilmour said Lemieux possessed the rare ability to frustrate opponents while earning the respect of teammates, a trait that stood out during the 1989 Stanley Cup Final.<\/a><\/p>\n

“He was a pain in the a– to play against, but you wanted him on your team.”<\/p>\n
