It is in great sadness that I have to report that Vancouver Canucks defenseman, and two time World Junior Hockey Championship gold medalist, Luc Bourdon, has died in a motorcycle accident at the young age of 21.

Luc was driving his motorcycle in his home province of New Brunswick Thursday afternoon when his bike hit a tractor trailer on a highway.

Luc played 27 games for Vancouver and was expected to play his first full season for Vancouver next season.

Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals will feature a moment of silence for Luc.

The Canucks Management commented that they were deeply saddened by his death.

RIP Luc. It's always tragic when a young athlete with talent dies very early in his career. My prayers and thoughts are with Bourdon and his family.

The sad thing is he is not the first young hockey player to die this year. Mickey Renaud, of the Windsor Spitfires collapsed in his home earlier this year.

I know it isn't time to argue about his playing ability, but Luc was not in his prime and that is why this is so sad. He never got his shot in the NHL, he only played about 60 games for the big club and his life was taken away befor he got his shot. R.I.P. Luc
