Legendary Red Wings Star Alex Delvecchio Passes Away at 93: The Untold Legacy Revealed
“When you think of the Red Wings, you think of Howe,” Bruins legend Phil Esposito told Sport magazine in 1971. “But Alex is the most underrated player in the game today — underrated by everyone but the players.”
Delvecchio became a mainstay on the Red Wings roster by the 1951-52 season, recording 37 points (15 goals, 22 assists) during his rookie campaign as the Red Wings went on to win the Stanley Cup.
He would go on to become a key piece of the “Production Line” between Howe and Ted Lindsay, winning another two cups in 1954 and ’55.
