I was renovating down at the units today with CBC on the radio in the background. Oddly
they were saying something about the Canucks - surprising because they don't cover sports
at all. Something about a young defence man, 21, played for and won gold for Canada at the
World Junior Championships, called up for limited games this year and last. And then on to
the next story.
That didn't really sound good and I went back to work with a sinking feeling. It had
the awful ring of tragedy and from what I had caught it sounded like whatever had
happened had occurred to promising young Canucks prospect Luc Bourdon. I went home
for lunch an hour later and immediately logged on to find out more. Sadly, Luc Bourdon
was killed this morning while riding his motorcycle in Northern New Brunswick. This is
a guy who had an incredible life in front of him and, in one of those moments that
happen in life, it's gone in the blink of an eye. I have a feeling there are a lot
of Canucks fans like myself who are in shock today.
RIP Luc.
