He played for the Flyers for six seasons and made a significant impact on the team's defense during the early 1980s.
The Flyers expressed their sadness in a statement online.
Glen Cochrane's physical style of play, making him one of the NHL's toughest fighters and checkers, earned him a place in team history for penalty minutes.
After retiring, he worked as a scout for the Colorado Avalanche and Anaheim Ducks.
Rugged 1980s Flyers alum Glen Cochrane defenseman, who battled cancer as fiercely as he took on any rival on the ice, has passed away at the age of 65.
