Lafleur eager to get on with life after surgeries
Canadiens icon back at work following quadruple bypass, lung operation
www.nhl.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent widely reported news:
- Guy Lafleur, Montreal Canadiens legend and Hockey Hall of Famer, passed away on April 22, 2022, at age 70. This was widely reported by major outlets and hockey organizations; his death followed a long battle with cancer and health issues linked to his earlier heart surgery and lung cancer diagnoses.[3][4][8]
- In the years after his playing career, Lafleur remained a prominent figure in hockey circles in Quebec and Canada, with ongoing tributes and memorials from the Canadiens and Hockey Canada, including ceremonies and public remembrances in his honor.[6][8]
- If you’re looking for very recent developments specifically mentioning him beyond obituaries and memorials (e.g., anniversaries, new tributes, or archival releases), I can check the latest updates and cite them directly.
Would you like me to pull the most current articles or memorial items and summarize them with sources? If you have a preferred source (e.g., Canadiens site, CBC, NHL), tell me and I’ll prioritize it.
