Al MacNeil, a former NHL player who won the Stanley Cup as coach of the Montreal Canadiens, has died. He was 89.

MacNeil never won the Stanley Cup as a player, but his name was tapped into the trophy four times, 1971 with the Canadiens; in 1978 and 1979 with Montreal as director of player personnel; and finally with the Calgary Flames as assistant general manager in 1989.

The Flames said in a news release Monday that Al MacNeil died Sunday in Calgary. No cause of death was provided.

Al MacNeil, a former NHL D-man who died, was part of the Flames for over two decades, won three Stanley Cups and captured three Calder Cups with the Canadiens' AHL affiliate.

Alex Chiasson, a 2018 Stanley Cup champion with the Washington Capitals, retired from the NHL on Monday after 11 seasons. The 34-year-old forward had 233 points (120 goals, 113 assists) in 651 regular-season games for seven NHL teams.

Al MacNeil, who played for the New York Rangers late in his career before going to great success as a coach and NHL executive, died Sunday in Calgary. He was 89. MacNeil played 11 seasons in the NHL as a low-scoring defensive defenseman.
