Marcel Bonin

Joseph Jacques Marcel Bonin (September 8, 1931 – January 19, 2025) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward. He played in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, and Montreal Canadiens between 1952 and 1962. He won the Stanley Cup four times in his career, once with Detroit and three times with Montreal.

Bonin's National Hockey League career began in 1952 after the Red Wings bought his contract from the Quebec Aces of the Quebec Senior Hockey League.

On June 3, 1955, Bonin was dealt in a blockbuster trade to the Boston Bruins along with teammates Terry Sawchuk, Vic Stasiuk and Lorne Davis in exchange for Ed Sandford, Réal Chevrefils, Norm Corcoran, Gilles Boisvert and Warren Godfrey. After a single season with the Bruins, Bonin returned to the Quebec Aces for a season before being claimed by the Montreal Canadiens in the 1957 NHL Intra-League Draft.

Bonin won the Stanley Cup four times, doing so in 1955 with Detroit and in 1958, 1959, and 1960 with Montreal.

Bonin's career was ended following an on-ice collision with Red Wings defenceman Pete Goegan on February 9, 1962, resulting in a severe back injury.

Bonin died in Joliette, Quebec on January 19, 2025, at the age of 93.
