The earth lost one of it's angels the other day when former Vancouver Canucks tough guy Gino Odjick was revealed to passed away at just 52 years old.
Odjick was known as a gentle giant off the ice and one of the toughest son's of bitches when on the ice. Odjick was a fan favorite throughout his career, although he spent most of his career as a member of the Vancouver Canucks, Odjick also had stops in Long Island, Philadelphia and Montreal.
Ojicks health was going down hill since 2014 and passed away at just 52 years old. One of Odjicks's best friends Peter Leech would have a discussion with Vancouver Police, the nature of Odjicks death was revealed.
I was there for the whole thing. He had a heart attack, couldn't recover from it. We knew this day was going to come, we didn't know when. We were hoping much later.
He collapsed in the clinic, thank god the nurses were there. They worked on him for 45 minutes. It was tough to watch.
Odjick was known as a man with a huge heart and someone who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Leech put it best when he described Odjick.
That's what he had. Unfortunately that big heart gave out. He lived life, we always joked. Rest in Peace Gino
Oilers Daily would like to take a moment to share our sincerest condolences to the entire Odjick family during this sad time may he rest in peace.
