Mystery Surrounds Passing of Wayne Thomas, Former Rangers Goalie, at 77

Wayne Thomas, a former goaltender who spent his last four years in the NHL with the Rangers, died Monday after a battle with cancer, the Sharks said in a statement on Wednesday. He was 77.

An undrafted netminder out of Ottawa, Ontario, Thomas enjoyed an eight-year career in the league before he made the jump into management. He played for the Canadiens, Maple Leafs and the Rangers, who claimed him in the 1977 Waiver Draft to serve as a tandem with John Davidson.

When he hung up the skates in 1981, Thomas finished with a 103-93-34 record, a 3.34 goals-against average and 10 shutouts.
