DENVER (AP) — Harald Hasselbach, a defensive lineman for the Denver Broncos during the team’s back-to-back Super Bowl championships in the late 1990s, has died at age 56.<\/p>\n

The Broncos announced Hasselbach’s death on Thursday, citing family. Hasselbach’s family said he died at home in the Denver area after a six-month fight with cancer.<\/p>\n

Hasselbach began his career with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. He’s one of 10 players to win a Grey Cup and a Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Hasselbach never missed a game during his seven seasons with the Broncos between 1994 and 2000, getting 154 tackles, 17.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.<\/p>\n

He started 29 regular-season games and three playoff games, including the Broncos’ win over the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl following the 1998 season.<\/p>\n

His seven seasons in the NFL followed a four-year career with the Stampeders, where he was a CFL All-Star.<\/p>\n

A native of the Netherlands, Hasselbach played at the University of Washington after growing up in Vancouver, British Columbia.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife, four children and four grandchildren.<\/p>\n
