Former U.S. Olympian and ex-New York Ranger Mark Pavelich was found dead Thursday in a Minnesota mental treatment center in Minnesota, according to a report in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Pavelich, 63, not only starred on the ‘Miracle on Ice’ team that won Olympic Gold at Lake Placid in 1980, but was also a star center on the ‘Smurf’ Rangers of the early 1980s.

BROSSARD - General manager Marc Bergevin clarified the reasons why Stéphane Waite was relieved of his duties as the Canadiens goaltending coach on Tuesday night.
Waite had been working alongside Carey Price since the 2013 campaign. It was under his mentorship that Price won the Vezina Trophy, Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award after his standout 2014-15 season. The former fifth-overall selection in 2005 posted a 44-16-6 record, along with a 1.96 goals-against average, a .933 save percentage and nine shutouts.
