Sad news for hockey fans...

Rick Rypien, former Vancouver Canuck and newest Winnipeg Jet (as of June 2) was found dead in his Alberta home on Monday.

He was only 27 years old and initial indications are that it was a suicide. He had battled depression but friends report he was in great spirits as of late.

As a Canucks fan and someone who lives in Vancity, this is yet another sad story to tell....
