Hockey player and coach-turned-broadcaster Barry Melrose dies at age 70
BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) --- Barry Melrose, a hockey player-turned-coach who led the
Los Angeles Kings to the 1993 Stanley Cup Final before going on to a long
career in broadcasting the sport, has died. He was 70.
ESPN announced Melrose's death Wednesday after his wife informed the network.
Melrose stepped away from the role in 2023 after being diagnosed with
Parkinson's disease. From Kelvington, Saskatchewan, the hard-nosed defenseman
played over 300 games in the NHL after nearly 200 in the World Hockey
Association.
