Word is Canucks prospect Luc Bourdon was killed Wednesday, May 28th in a Motorcycle accident in New Brunswick. Right now I don't have any more details, but who cares right now.
The fact is, a 21 year old kid with a long future in life and hockey is dead! For anyone that's aweful news. For the Canuck family it lines up on a long list of disapppointments in the franchise's history.
On a personal note, I met Luc quite a few times since the time he was drafted, through the World Jr.'s, through his call ups and training camps with the Canucks. He was a good kid. Shy of the attention and the media, but once the microphone was off, I remember him telling me that "it was alright (with a smile on his face) that he was now in the NHL."
Sad day in Canuckville.
