EDMONTON, Alberta -- John Muckler, who coached four NHL teams and won five Stanley Cup championships with the Edmonton Oilers, has died. He was 86.

Muckler was part of the staff that put together the Oilers dynasty of the 1980s. He joined Edmonton in 1982 as an assistant coach under Glen Sather and won five Stanley Cups with the organization from 1984 to 1990, the last one as head coach.

Muckler's final NHL role was a senior adviser position with the Phoenix Coyotes in September 2008, working alongside then-coach Wayne Gretzky, who had a close relationship with Muckler from their time in Edmonton.
'He was tough, strict, but most importantly fair, and he helped lay the groundwork to make our team more accountable to each other which propelled us to become champions,' Gretzky said in a statement released by the Oilers.
'A wonderful family man and great friend, he personally took my career to another level, and I will always cherish the hours we talked, from breaking down defenses to raising a family.'
Muckler finished with a career coaching record of 276-288-84.
He also served as a coach for three NHL All-Star Games, as well as for Canada's 1984 and 1987 Canada Cup-winning teams.
