Yesterday, the Vancouver Canucks announced that 21 year old defenseman Luc Bourdon died. It was reported that he lost control of his motorcycle near his home of Shippagan in northern New Brunswick. This is a very tragic situation for the Bourdon family and the Canucks. From Vancouver Assistant GM Steve Tambellini:
“The one thing that people who didn’t know Luc really well might not have realized, was that he had so much passion and emotion in him - not only just as a player, but as a person starting to emerge as a professional athlete.”
“You could sense, when you got to know Luc, that when he did emerge as an NHL regular, that he would be an impactful player. He’s a passionate, passionate human being that cared a great deal about his teammates and a great deal about his profession.”
It is always heartbreaking when someone so young, so talented, and so respected and liked by those around them has their life cut short. My thoughts and prayers are with the Bourdon family.
