“Eddie Giacomin was a full member of the New York Rangers for a decade and personified what a Ranger is, both for his teammates and the faithful Bloehirts,” the rangers said in a statement. “You cannot discuss the story of this organization and not immediately think of Eddie. The great Rod Gilbert called him the heart of their team, and we cannot think of a greater honor to give one of the biggest goalkeepers to play. Our thoughts are with family, friends and teammates of Eddie during this incredibly difficult period.”
More to come.
