Title: Phil Maloney WHL & NHL Canucks dead at 92.
Post by: arimaBOATER on February 21, 2020, 09:20:29 PM

He played for WHL Canucks & got 900 plus pts I believe.
He was coach / GM for NHL Canucks for a short time.
Reading up on him ...but did not see his nickname in the articles about his death.
Anyone correct me on this. Was he not called the "silver fox" because of his hair color???
RIP Mr Phil Mahoney. God be with his loved ones at this time.
Lived long so that's good.

Yes, he was known as the Silver Fox. Very smooth skating center. He was a star in the Western Hockey League.
