"Original" Houston Aeros goaltender Wayne Rutledge has passed away at the age of 62 after a battle with stomach cancer. Rutledge was one of six Aeros to play in each of the team's six WHA seasons. He also played for the NHL's Los Angeles Kings in the late 1960's.
Please join the Aeros in sending our condolences to Rutledge's family, friends and all of the "original" Aeros.
