R.I.P. Gino Odjick (1970 - 2023)

 

The Vancouver Canucks great died Sunday at 52 of a heart attack.

His longtime friend Peter Leech was with him at the end.

Leech had taken Odjick to a Vancouver medical clinic on Sunday to have bandages on his legs replaced, but there were no signs of any heart distress until the last minute.

“I was there for the whole thing,” he told Postmedia over the phone. “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.”
