A touching tribute for Kitchener native Milt Schmidt before Boston’s home game against Edmonton on Thursday.

Schmidt died on Wednesday. He was 98.

He centred the famous “Kraut Line”, winning two Stanley Cups as a player and another pair as a general manager.

Schmidt was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961.

No funeral arrangements have been announced yet.
