    Former Calgary Flames part-owner Harley Hotchkiss, a Hockey Hall of Famer, died Wednesday. He was 83.

    Hotchkiss died of prostate cancer, the team said. He was part of the group that bought the Atlanta Flames and moved the club to Calgary in 1980. The Flames won the Stanley Cup in 1989.

    "Harley's vision, his leadership, his integrity and his commitment to our game -- particularly in Canada -- were key components in making hockey, and the National Hockey League, as strong as they are today," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. "He was passionately devoted to his family, his Flames, his community and his country."
