Lafleur eager to get on with life after surgeries
Canadiens icon back at work following quadruple bypass, lung operation
www.nhl.comI’m sorry, but I don’t have live access to newsfeeds in this moment. Based on available recent information up to 2024–2025, Guy Lafleur, the Montreal Canadiens legend, passed away on April 22, 2022, at age 70 after a battle with lung cancer. Since then, there haven’t been widely publicized reports of him returning to public life or new health developments beyond memorials and tributes from fans and hockey organizations. If you’re looking for the latest updates, I can help you search reputable sources now or summarize the most recent tributes and memorials.
Key notes:
- Lafleur died in 2022; he remains a central figure in Canadiens history and hockey lore.[4][8]
- After his health challenges beginning in 2019–2020, he publicly acknowledged battles with cancer and related treatments, with final passing in 2022.[3][4]
- Memorial coverage and remembrances were widely reported across Canadian outlets and hockey organizations.[6][8]
