Today we received some sad news from the hockey as former Vancouver Canucks enforced Gino Odjick had passed away after years of battling health issues. In 2014, Odjick was diagnosed with Amyloidosis, a disease that attacks your organs. At the time he was only given weeks to live.

Very sad news as Gino Odjick has passed away at the age of 52.
1 of my favourite players all-time, 1 of the most popular players in franchise history.
RIP Gino.
