BROSSARD – News of Todd Ewen’s passing hit Jean-Jacques Daigneault and Chris Nilan particularly hard over the weekend.
Former teammates in Montreal back in the early ‘90s, Daigneault and Ewen spent four seasons together donning the CH and claimed the Canadiens’ last Stanley Cup title back in 1993.
“I was devastated when I heard about it [on Sunday]. Marc Bergevin knew that I’d played with him for a few years in Montreal. He came up with the news and it really affected me,” offered Daigneault, who was clearly shocked to hear of Ewen’s death at age 49.
