Since the start of August, we’re counting down the number of days left until the regular season starts up again! Everyday until the start of the season, we’ll be talking about a Calgary Flames player whose number correlates with how many days there are left.
Last time, we talked about Markus Granlund. All the players we’ve been looking at so far have still been active NHL players and most, except Granlund, are still within the Flames organization. Today, we’ll have a player who is not only not active anymore, but who unfortunately passed away two years ago at the young age of 35 years old.
