Former Ottawa Senators general manager and coach Bryan Murray died Saturday at the age of 74, the team announced.
"Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known and also a great father, mentor and teacher," Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said in a statement. "We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Geri, daughters, Heide and Brittany, and the entire Murray family on their loss."
The team did not identify a cause of death, but Murray announced in November 2014 that he had Stage 4 colon cancer. He remained the team's general manager until April 2016, when he stepped down and took a senior advisory role with the team.
