The Saskatoon Blades have announced that former coach Robert John (Jackie) McLeod died at St. Paul’s Hospital late last week at the age of 92.
According to a statement from the WHL’s Blades, McLeod was a Saskatoon sports trailblazer.
McLeod, who was born in Regina, was the head coach and general manager of the Blades for most of the 1970s, and part-owner of the club from 1976 to 1980.
He also coached the Canadian national hockey team and won bronze at the 1967 world championship and at the 1968 Winter Olympics.
Before he began coaching, McLeod played 116 games with the NHL’s New York Rangers.
In the statement, Blades general manager Colin Priestner said: “On behalf of the Priestner family, I’d like to extend my condolences to McLeod’s family and celebrate the amazing life that Jackie led and recognized the impact he had on not only the Blades, but Saskatoon sports as a whole.”
McLeod was inducted into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame in 1994, and into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 1999.
