Big League
A few weeks back Normy and I were discussing what New Brunswickers were in the NHL. The topic came up because the Habs - Flyers series introduced us to Randy Jones from Quispamsis. At the time he was one of two New Brunswickers in the NHL. Now he's the only one remaining. Luc Bourdon, from Shippigan, was a defenceman for the Canucks. He was a first round draft pick a few years ago and is the earliest New Brunswicker ever taken in the draft. He was also a member of two gold medal winning Canadian World Junior teams. He had the world by the nuts and died yesterday in a motorcycle crash.
He was in immense source of pride for the Acadian Peninsula and, for that matter, all of New Brunswick. By all accounts he was a good kid with an extremely bright future. Northern NB has lost enough of those this year.
"Everybody here knows Luc," said Natalie Robichaud, the town clerk. "He is everybody's friend."
It is Friday but I won't be posting a flashback as Big League is a little too morbid.
Peace Luc.
