Blues Chairman Tom Stillman has issued the following statement: "We are deeply saddened by the passing of former Blue Todd Ewen. Todd was an outstanding individual who called St. Louis home and continued to devote much of his time to the game he loved. On behalf of the entire St. Louis Blues organization, our thoughts and prayers are with the Ewen family during this most difficult time."
Ewen played for the Blues from 1986 to 1990, appearing in 124 regular season games in St. Louis. He was nicknamed "The Animal" for his tough style of play, and he registered 10 goals and seven assists while collecting 493 penalty minutes as a Blue.
