Answer 5

Very sad. RIP

Answer 6

Very, very sad.

Ah, that's the one JoeB. I couldn't remember his name, had it on the tip of my toungue.

Answer 7

Yeah, no kidding. I was shocked when I saw that a few minutes ago.

Answer 8

thats so sad :(

Answer 9

Just read about it. Unbelieveable.

This seems to be a pattern in hockey. Heck, the list is long. Let's not forget Pelle Lindbergh

Answer 10

Wow... this is tragic.  Such a bright future taken away.

Answer 11

That sucks, and not just because he was a hockey player.  Any young person to die like that is a tragedy.

My sympathies to his family.

Answer 12

Very sad but don't forget Dan Snyder as well.

Answer 13

Very tragic. Things like these always seem to happen to the good.

Travis Roy might have been a good NHL player.

None Profound - Yea, there are many choices though, things like these are too common.

Answer 14

i would like to see Valery Kharlamov play in the NHL he died not young but a brutal car accident in Soviet Union back then they say some NHL club wanted to sign him but never did

Answer 15

As a lifelong Penguins fan, I would love to have seen Michel Briere play a full career.  Mortally wounded in a car crash in 1970, Briere led the Pens to the franchise's first playoff series victory as a rookie.  He was (I've been told) Mario Lemieux long before Mario ever came along.  Maybe not the gifted player, but a difference-maker who may have kept the franchise from obscurity and incompetence in the many years prior to 66's arrival in 1984.

Terrible news about Luc Bourdon.  My prayers are offered for him and his family.

PS - I add to your list Yanic Dupre, former Flyer who succombed to cancer some years back.

Answer 16

Thats so sad. Only the Good Die Young :(

Answer 17

Always a crying shame to hear something like this.

Answer 18

God Bless him and his family.

Answer 19

HeavySoviet: Travis Roy immediately came to my mind as well.

Answer 20

That sucks.  Worst hockey tragedy I remember was the Vlady Konstantinov accident that resulted in his career ending injuries.  Vlady was my favorite player in the NHL back then and I hated to see that happen to him :(  I actually cried when they wheeled Vlady out on the ice when they won the cup again in 1998.

Answer 21

God, I hate hearing these stories.  Pelle played too many games to qualify for not having a career but I remember that story like it was yesterday.  

I will bring Bill Masterton to the table for another player who was taken too early and his accident was in a hockey game.  I believe he had only played 20-30 NHL game.  LITY, you would know better than us whether the four Swift current players who were killed when the team bus crashed had the potential for a career, but it is another example of your question.  Jordan Tootoo's brother is another tragic story.  

There are way too many answers to this question.  I will be saying a few prayers for Bourdon and his family.

Answer 22

:(... that's awful.

Answer 23

Wow.....that's tragic.

At that age you don't even begin to know what life is truly about.

Answer 24

Such a shame a terrible waste. God bless his family.

If you imagine all the hockey players tragically lost over the years what a team they would make. Stanley cup champions of the sky :)

R.I.P boys.

Answer 25

That really sucks. I am sorry for his family and friends and fans. Holan would be my answer
