Saw this on another nessage board. CKAC out of Montreal is reporting it as well as a few other places. Any of the north of the border members here this? TSN, RDS, French CBC all reporting it now.

Just put it through a translator. Hope that's not true.

"The young defender of Canucks of Vancouver Luc Bourdon is deceased following an motorbike accident in the North-East of New Brunswick close to Shipagan. The circumstances of the accident were not revealed yet. Bumblebee had been a choice of round first of Canucks of Vancouver in 2005. This year it took part in 27 meetings with Canucks collecting 2 goals. It had made its mark in the LHJMQ with the Borers of Gold Valley Wildcats of Moncton and Screaming Eagles of the Cape Breton."

Looks like French CBC radio is reporting it too.

Thats going to hit hard over here. Luc Bourdon is our Sidney Crosby here in NB, we like to say he's our own guy, and brag him up. My heart sank when I heard this on TSN. Wow, RIP.

I hope the League has a moment of silence before the game tomorrow night.

Tragic... it's horrible to see such a young life come to an end. Thoughts are with his family, friends, and teammates

My best friends and I just had a 1 year memorial for our friend who passed away in a motorcycle accident.

I thought my buddy was kidding.

I got to meet him during last year's pre-season and told him he'd be a great personality for the team.

Geez. Too young. Condolences to his family and friends.

Wow. Too sad. Luc was eventually going to evolve into the Nucks top D-man and now he wont get that chance. I hate to see such a young life gone. RIP Luc

My thoughts and prayers go out to Luc's family as well as the entire Vancouver Canucks organization.

Time for me to be the asshole...

When are these athletes going to learn not to do things like that? It's just a shame that they put themselves in such a risk like that.

I think riding motorcycles in general is a bad idea with how poorly people drive cars these days.

I was sitting back on making that same comment.

Seriously though...When you are getting paid MILLION$ to play a GAME...stay the hell off of something or away from an activity that can cost you that livlihood. Unfortunately, in this case...it cost him and his family more than just his hockey career.

I wonder if people criticized Roberto Clemente for being in an airplane.
