Guy Damien Lafleur, one of the greatest hockey players to take to the ice, has died at age 70.

Fans of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team paid tribute to the fallen legend Friday, leaving flowers at the base of the Guy Lafleur statue that stands outside the Bell Centre in downtown Montreal. Though the team didn’t identify a cause of death, Lafleur had been battling lung cancer for nearly three years.
