Former Bruins goalie Blaine Lacher passes away at age 53
Former Bruins goalie Blaine Lacher died unexpectedly earlier this week at age 53.
Lacher, a collegiate standout at Lake Superior State, played parts of two seasons with the B’s from 1994-96, compiling a 22-16-4 record. He last played professionally for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the IHL in the 1996-97 season.
“The Boston Bruins are deeply saddened by the passing of former goalie Blaine Lacher. We send our thoughts and condolences to his family, friends and teammates,” the club wrote on social media.
Lacher’s 19-11-2 run in his first year in Boston helped the B’s make the playoffs in 1995.
Lacher also led Lake Superior State over Boston University in the NCAA title game in 1994.
