Our condolences go out to the family, friends and fans of Cliff Fletcher, who passed away today at the age of 90. An NHL executive for nearly seven decades, Fletcher began his career as a pro scout for the Canadiens in 1956, part of six Stanley Cup winning teams in his decade of service. Fletcher would work his way up to general manger, in stints with St. Louis, Atlanta and Calgary, winning the Stanley Cup as Flames GM in 1989. He would become GM and President of the Maple Leafs in 1991, serving for six seasons, later returning as GM, then Senior Advisor, in 2007, staying in the role until 2024. Fletcher would spend a total of 33 seasons between Toronto and Montréal, being named to the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 2004.
