Two deaths.
- Dale Hawerchuk, at 57. More than any other Jet — including Golden Jet Bobby Hull — Hawerchuk kept Winnipeg sports fans watching his team. Hawerchuk had the unenviable task of playing against legacy teams that utterly owned the newly expanded NHL, including the Edmonton Oilers at their legendary hay-day, and the Detroit Red Wings at their most recent. And of course there is no “I” in “Team” but Hawerchuk’s understated on-ice performance kept Winnipeg hopes alive, because more than any other player he racked up the points, while playing against titans.
- Ron “Rontrose” Heathman — founding guitarist for the Supersuckers, who played on many of my favourite 'Suckers albums, including this one. There is a fund-raiser for his daughter Ruby, here.
