Eddie Shack, one of the NHL’s most colorful players on and off the ice, has died. He was 83.

The native of Sudbury, Ontario, played parts of 17 seasons from 1958 through 1975 with six different teams — including the Pittsburgh Penguins — and spent nine years with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Known for his bruising style, distinctive skating gait and larger-than-life personality, Shack won four Stanley Cups with Toronto in the 1960s, including the franchise’s most recent victory in 1967.
