Former NHL forward Wade Belak has been found dead in downtown Toronto.
The 35 year-old from Saskatoon retired in March after a long NHL career that included stops in Calgary, Toronto, Florida, Colorado, and Nashville.
He was recently announced as one of the ex-NHLers who would be performing on CBC’s ‘Battle of the Blades’ this year.
Belak is the third NHL enforcer to die in the last four months.
Derek Boogard of the New York Rangers was found dead in Minneapolis in May and just over two weeks ago, Winnipeg Jets forward Rick Rypien was found dead at his home in Crowsnest Pass.
