Some sad news has come out in the hockey world on Tuesday as it's been announced that longtime NHL defenceman Brad Maxwell is battling lung cancer, which has unfortunately spread to other parts of his body.
The Brandon, Manitoba native appeared in 612 games across parts of ten seasons with the Minnesota North Stars, Quebec Nordiques, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers, where he had 368 points and 1,292 penalty minutes. During his time with the North Stars, he helped them reach the 1981 Stanley Cup Final.
