Former NHL enforcer tragically passes at forty-four
The Hockey World had it rough over the last few weeks with too many losses.
After being struck by the tragic passing of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, the hockey gods called another player to their ranks. Through the NHL Alumni �X' page, it was announced that the former NHL enforcer Stephen Peat had tragically passed.
Peat reportedly sustained injuries in an accident nearly two weeks ago, according to the National Hockey League Alumni, and sadly, he was unable to recover.
The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn that Stephen Peat has passed away from his injuries after a tragic accident just over two weeks ago. He was only 44 years old.
Stephen was drafted 32nd overall by the @AnaheimDucks in 1998. In 2000, he was traded to the @Capitals and would play in 130 regular-season games, scoring 10 points for the franchise. Peat finished his pro career in the AHL following the 2006-07 season.
In the wake of this tragic accident, Stephen will be helping to save numerous lives through organ donation.
We send our deepest condolences to Stephen's family, friends, and former teammates during this difficult time.
