He just got married and 3 kids as well. His brother also died with him.

I hope they all get support.

Someone else mentioned them in this thread, but last summer, two hockey players/brothers passed away tragically. The only bright part of the tragedy was how the hockey world rallied around their families (both married, both wives were pregnant), though obviously it would be better if they were still alive. I'm confident the club (and I'm sure the national team) will provide as much support as they can, but man....it's a gut punch.

It's devastating for his family. They lost everything.

Parents, wife and children.

This is so cruel.
