Ron Duguay, who played nearly 1,000 games in the NHL from the late 1970s through the ‘80s, has died of cancer. He was 69. A New York Rangers spokesperson says Duguay's family informed the team of his death. Duguay played his first six seasons with the Rangers after they selected him with the 13th pick in the draft in 1977. He was an All-Star as a point-a-game producer in 1981-82. He also spent time with the Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins and Los Angeles Kings. He was known late in life away from hockey for dating former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
