The Greatest Hockey Players of All Time: Then vs. Now

Since retiring in 1988, Potvin has worked as a broadcaster, covering NHL games with insight and candor. He has also stayed active in the hockey community through alumni events and charitable work, particularly in New York and Florida, where he became a longtime voice of the Panthers.

He is remembered as a dynasty leader and cornerstone of one of the NHL’s greatest teams. Though his name still sparks debate in some rival cities, Potvin’s legacy as a Hall of Fame defenseman and champion remains firmly intact.
