57 years old is just far too young to die. Having recently celebrated my 46th birthday, this point seems to hit home more and more the older I get. 57 is how old Dale Hawerchuk was.

It was recently announced that the vicious stomach cancer he had been fighting had returned. His demise was quick and sad. At one time Hawerchuk, to me anyway, seemed the invincible leader of the 1980s Winnipeg Jets.

Hawerchuk was a legendary junior hockey player who went on to even bigger things in the National Hockey League and in international competitions. It is no wonder why he is a deserving member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.Post a comment
