Murray Armstrong, the coach who led the University of Denver to five of its first seven national championships, died Wednesday. He was 24 days short of his 95th birthday.Armstrong was born in Saskatchewan, and made his NHL debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1937-38 season. He played for four NHL teams -- also suiting up with the New York Americans, Brooklyn Americans, and Detroit Red Wings. Armstrong played in 270 NHL games, scoring 67 goals and 188 points.
More than his NHL career, though, Armstrong will forever be remembered for his work as a coach at Denver.
