Blackhawks mourn passing of Reggie Fleming
Saturday, 07.11.2009 / 7:20 PM / News
Chicago Blackhawks Chairman W. Rockwell "Rocky" Wirtz and General Manager Dale Tallon have released the following statements regarding the passing of former Blackhawks forward Reggie Fleming, 73.
"We will certainly miss Reggie, a life-long Blackhawk," Wirtz said. "He'll be remembered for his fiery personality and his support for this franchise which did not waiver in good times or in bad. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family."
"Today is a sad day for the Blackhawks family, with the loss of Reggie,” Tallon said. “On the ice he was fierce competitor and off the ice he was caring and gentle. We will certainly miss him and his strong passion for the Blackhawks."
Fleming spent four of his 12 National Hockey League seasons as a member of the Blackhawks, which includes helping the team capture the 1961 Stanley Cup. The Montreal native registered 455 penalty minutes and 47 points (21G, 26A) in 261 career regular-season games and 84 penalty minutes and five points (3G, 2A) in 37 postseason tilts from 1960 to 1964.
************************
Reg spent the last few years of his life in a nursing home after suffering a paralyzing Stroke. Chris did a few interviews with his DAD over the last 2 years, which you may watch HERE along with some Vids of Reggie in his Fighting Prime.
May Chris and Kelly find Peace in their Dad's Release |

I remember Mr. Flemming. He was a rough and tumble guy who added excitement to the play when he was on ice.
Will you ask your friend Chris if he remembers whether Mr. Flemming was part of a league promotional tour in the mid to late 1960s. 1963/64 I think. I have a recollection of him, Bobby Hull and Pierre Pilote, riding in a car in a parade in my home town in southwestern Ontario. But I could be fuzzy on some of the players.
