Willie Huber Obituary
Family friend Mark Lawrence says Huber died Monday of an apparent heart attack at his home in Hamilton, Ontario.
Huber was born in Strasskirchen, Germany, and selected by Detroit in the first round (ninth overall) of the 1978 NHL amateur draft. He played for the Wings from 1978-83, and later for the Rangers, Canucks and Flyers.
In 655 NHL games, the 6-foot-5 Huber scored 104 goals and had 217 assists, with his best season coming in 1981 when he had 49 points (15 goals, 34 assists). He finished his career with 950 penalty minutes.

A wonderful man and true gentleman that I had the great privilege of knowing in the 1980's. He was fun and smart and gave me memories that will last a lifetime. My prayers are with his family.
