I can’t even begin to imagine what this is like. Nicole Hazen, the wife of team General Manager Mike Hazen, had been fighting glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer, for more than two years, with Mike taking a physical leave of absence from the team in June last year, to support her in the battle. At the age of 45, Nicole was taken far too soon, by any standard.
