Former Bruins winger Vic Stasiuk passed away over the weekend at the age of 93.

The Alberta native played for Boston from 1955-61 after being acquired from the Detroit Red Wings, for whom he was a part of three Stanley Cup titles in 1952, 1954, and 1955.

Upon his arrival in Boston, Stasiuk reunited with Johnny Bucyk and Bronco Horvath to form the famous "Uke Line" - all three Canadians had Ukrainian ancestry and had played together several years earlier for Edmonton in the Western Hockey League. They went on to become one of the most iconic trios in club lore and in 1957-58, the triumvirate made NHL history when they were the first line to have all three players hit the 20-goal mark in a single season.
