RIP Dale Hawerchuk

[Kingspoint]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Hawerchuk

"In a poll of NHL general managers during the mid-1980s asking them to select the player they would start a franchise with, Hawerchuk was voted third behind only Wayne Gretzky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky) and Paul Coffey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Coffey). He retired with 518 goals, 891 assists and 1,409 points, placing him 18th on the career NHL points list. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_Hall_of_Fame) in 2001."

This has got me shook. Seriously. That guy was a human dynamo and he was only 57. Apparently he was suffering from stomach cancer. If it wasn't for injuries he'd have Wayne and Gordy as the only players with 2,000+ points. Finished with 1,409 career points and injuries functionally ended his career after age 30.

Always loved his name. It just sounded so hockeyesque.
