Not sure what to say?

Rick went to PCVS our high school in Peterborough Met him in 1967 One of the great hockey players with his wicked shot He always borrowed my cousin´s typing paper but never gave it back He was a funny guy and everyone liked him RIP Ricky MacLeish

Met Rick when he was in Vancouver playing against the Canucks. We just started talking and he told me all about his race horses and his family. I told him my dad was the biggest Flyers fan and just loved him. He was such a kind and gentle man. Very friendly and didn’t come across as a big snobby famous hockey player. Was so down to earth, so real. I will never forget my talk with him. He died way too young. Rest in Peace Rick! Such a kind soul

Greatest hockey player I ever saw / sooring that goal against Russia was the greatest trill of my life god bless

Such a sad day for hockey, you were one of the great ones , you will be sadly missed

Rick was a standout Oklahoma City Blazer right before joining the Flyer organization. Fond memories of both Rick and Reggie Leach in Blazer uniforms at the Fairgrounds Arena.
RIP Rick!!

Rick was the greatest person I have ever met. He was giving and caring. I'm lucky to have met someone that enriched my life and showed me how to be a better person. Thank you for all the positive you have given me in my life.

I remember how gracious Rick was at the Flyers Fan Club Dinners back in the 70's at the Alpine Inn in Springfield, PA...always ready to have his picture taken with a fan. And an amazing hockey player. We wouldn't have had those two cups without him. RIP

Dear Rick, You will go down in the "History Books" as one of the greatest legends of all times. I'll miss your laughter & smile Rick. May God hold you in the right hand of his side !!! God Speed Rick !!!!
