MONTREAL - Bob Fillion, who played seven seasons for the Montreal Canadiens in the 1940s, has died, the NHL club announced Thursday.
Fillion, 94, who won Stanley Cups in 1944 and 1946, became the oldest surviving Canadien when his former teammate Elmer Lach died at 97 in April.
Rejean Houle, a Canadiens public relations ambassador and head of the team's alumni association, said Fillion attended most of the team's home games in recent years until he took ill near the end of last season.
"He had the problems of old age; I guess you could say he died of natural causes," said Houle.
