Dale Hawerchuk lost his battle with stomach cancer at the age of 57 last August. On Friday, the Winnipeg Jets organization announced they will honor his memory with a statue that will be unveiled at True North Square next August.
The statue will be designed by artist Erik Blome of Figurative Art Studio. He’s best known for his Wayne Gretzky statue that sits outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
