Bill Torrey put together arguably one of the top dynasties in National Hockey League history before helping build an expansion team in South Florida from the ground up.
His trademark bow tie and nickname "The Architect" will be his lasting memories to the hockey world. Torrey died in his Florida home Wednesday. He was 83.
Torrey, a Montreal native who was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995, was at the helm of the New York Islanders dynasty that dominated hockey in the 1980s and could be considered the best dynasty to ever come through the NHL ranks.
