Hall of Famer, ironman record holder Glenn Hall passes away at 94

Hall of Fame goaltender and Stanley Cup champion Glenn Hall has passed away at the age of 94.

According to the story published on NHL.com, Hall passed away in a hospital Stony Plain, Alberta. The cause of his death has not been disclosed at this point in time.

Hall spent 18 seasons in the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings, Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues, accumulating a record of 406-326-163 with a .917 save percentage, 84 shutouts and nine assists. He is tied for 12th all-time in wins in the league, and is eighth all-time in games played. His save percentage ranked fifth among goalies from 1951 to 1971.

Hall also played 115 playoff games, where he had a 49-65 record with a .911 SV% and six shutouts. He won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 1961, where he had an 8-4-0 record, a .937 SV% and two shutouts.

In addition to a Stanley Cup, Hall won the Calder Trophy in 1955-56, and won three Vezina Trophies in 1962-63, 1966-67 and 1968-69. He also won the Conn Smythe Trophy, not during the Blackhawks’ Cup run in 1961, but in 1968, when his Blues were swept by the Montreal Canadiens. He is one of six players to win the Conn Smythe without winning the Stanley Cup.

However, Hall’s greatest achievement will be his iron-man streak, which saw him play in 502 consecutive NHL games. It’s considered to be one of the most unbreakable records in sports, largely due to how NHL goaltenders never play full seasons anymore.

Hall will be remembered most for his time as a Blackhawk, where he spent 10 of his 18 seasons and had a record of 276-229-107, a .916 SV% and 51 shutouts. He’s second in Blackhawks’ franchise history in both wins and games played, and is second in save percentage among goalies with 100 games played for the team behind Corey Crawford.

Hall was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1975.
