Bep Guidolin, the youngest player to ever suit up in an NHL game, has died at the age of 82.
According to his family he died in hospital Monday, in a Barrie, Ont., about 66 years after he set a record that will likely stand forever.
Guidolin was one month shy of his 17th birthday when he played with the Boston Bruins on Nov. 12, 1942. The minimum age of NHLers would be bumped to 18 in 1965.
Born Armand Guidolin in Thorold, Ont., and raised in Timmins, Ont., he was known by his nickname throughout his pro playing career and then behind the bench, a career that included separate stints coaching Hall of Famer Bobby Orr.
Guidolin was pressed into action in the NHL due to a shortage of players during the Second World War, but would eventually have his career interrupted for a year due to military service.
The left winger would score 107 goals and 171 assists in 519 career games over nine seasons.
His most productive years were with Chicago in 1949-50, when he recorded 17 goals and 34 assists in 70 games. He also played for the Detroit Red Wings.
Guidolin would move on to coaching, eventually landing with the Oshawa Generals in the Ontario Hockey League, the team with which he won the Memorial Cup in 1942.
He joined Oshawa in Orr's last season, with the team losing in six games in the 1966 Memorial Cup final to the Edmonton Oil Kings.
Guidolin was coaching the Boston Braves in the American Hockey League in February 1973 when he received a surprise call from Bruins general manager Harry Sinden to take over the defending Stanley Cup champions, who were languishing under Tom Johnson.
He coached Orr, Phil Esposito and the rest of the talented squad to a 72-23-9 record, but Boston lost in the 1974 final to Philadelphia and Sinden rejected Guidolin's demand for a long-term contract. Career minor league player and coach Don Cherry took over the Bruins.
Guidolin was named coach of the expansion Kansas City Scouts but again found himself at odds with the general manager, former Detroit teammate and Hall of Famer Sid Abel. Guidolin resigned when Abel wouldn't let him send a veteran player to the minors.
He would move on to coach the Edmonton Oilers of the World Hockey Association in 1976-77, eventually losing control of the team to Glen Sather.
He would continue to coach into the 1980s with teams in the AHL and OHL.
Guidolin had four children with his wife of 62 years, Eleanor.

NEW YORK (Nov. 10, 2008) -- Goaltenders Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks, Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Brent Johnson of the Washington Capitals have been named the NHL 'Three Stars' for the week ending Sunday, Nov. 9.
