»The NHL Alumni Association is saddened to learn that Larry Trader has passed away at the age of 61.
Larry was drafted in the 5th round of the 1981 Entry Draft to the @DetroitRedWings. He played two seasons with the team before moving on to the @StLouisBlues, and finishing his NHL career with the @CanadiensMTL. In total, Larry played in 91 regular-season games, scoring 18 points.
Trader's hockey career also took him to the OHL, AHL (where he won the Calder Cup with the Adirondack Red Wings), Austria, and Italy before his retirement where he coached teams in Ontario, Canada.
Larry was loved by all those who met him, with his positive energy and quick wit, he could make anyone smile.
We send our deepest condolences to Larry's family, friends, and former teammates during this difficult time.»
