Another "former" enforcer found dead.

RIP Wade. Sad that depression has the stygma that it has. From what I have heard and seen, athletes will have a higher occurance of this than the general population. It has something to do with being the best at what they do (he may have not been the best hockey player...but how many of us were in the NHL) and then wake up and it is all gone.

 

I feel for his children and his wife.

 

Could very well be. This is a quote from Ken Dryden's book about it. Sad story and a rough summer for hockey.

 

"If it is true that a sports career prolongs adolescence, it is also true that when that career ends, it deposits a player into premature middle age....His illusions about himself, fuelled by a public life, sent soaring then crashing, have disappeared just as those of his contemporaries have come to full bloom."
