"On January 13th, 2024, Maurice Joseph L'Abbé, a Canadian ice hockey player, passed away in Frisco, Texas. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on August 12th, 1947, L'Abbé briefly played in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Chicago Black Hawks during the 1972–73 season. Drafted by the Chicago Black Hawks in 1964, L'Abbé spent several years honing his skills in various minor leagues before getting his chance in the NHL. Despite his talent, his NHL career consisted of only five games, during which he contributed one assist. He then returned to the minors, where he continued playing for the Dallas Black Hawks of the Central Hockey League until his retirement in 1976. L'Abbé's passion for hockey was evident throughout his career, even though his time in the NHL was brief. His dedication to the sport and his perseverance in pursuing his dream of playing at the highest level left a lasting impression on those who knew him. Fans and fellow players alike will remember his legacy as a hardworking athlete and a beloved member of the hockey community. "
