The NHL is in mouring after the shocking news this weekend of the death of former NHL enforcer Gino Odjick.
Odjick was one of the toughest players to ever put on the skates and would make teams on the opposing team hate playing against him.
Ojicks health was going down hill since 2014 and passed away at just 52 years old. One of Odjicks's best friends Peter Leech, would have a discussion with Vancouver Police would and the nature of Odjicks death was revealed.
I was there for the whole thing. He had a heart attack, couldn't recover from it. We knew this day was going to come, we didn't know when. We were hoping much later.
He collapsed in the clinic, thank god the nurses were there. They worked on him for 45 minutes. It was tough to watch.
Odjick was known as a man with a huge heart and someone who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Leech put it best when he described Odjick.
That's what he had. Unfortunately that big heart gave out. He lived life, we always joked. Rest in Peace Gino
