The Canucks made a heartbreaking announcement earlier this afternoon. The team announced through their Alumni X account that the legendary Dunc Wilson had passed away.
''Dunc Wilson, who registered Vancouver's first-ever shutout in Canucks' NHL history, has passed away at the age of 75 in Utila, Honduras where he had been living for many years.� Condolences to the family and friends of Dunc 💙''
Member of the inaugural Canucks team that joined the NHL in 1970, Wilson guarded NHL nets on 287 occasions throughout 10 seasons. He was a member of the Canucks for their first three years of existence.
We wish to send our deepest condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.
