Summit Series hero, Paul Henderson, (as mentioned before) has a rare form of leukemia has spread and is now 'living on a death sentence' with 'not much time left'. Hopefully he holds out until 2013.

Karl-Gustav Kaisla, the Finnish Ice Hockey referee who served as the referee for the 1980 Olympic match between the USA and the Soviet Union known as the Miracle on Ice, has died suddenly aged 68.

Detroit Red Wing fan favourite, Shawn Burr, has survived his 3-year battle with leukemia by, instead, dying from a fall in his home.

 

 

Edit: Sorry to the_engineer for repeating your post (I forum searched "Shawn Burr" prior to posting and nothing came up.) This post can be removed.

Pittsburgh Penguins' 26-year old defenseman Kris Letang is out for 6 weeks after suffering a stroke.

 

Apparently, he was born with a small hole in the wall of his ventricle- this kind of news is heart-breaking.

NHL legend, Gordie Howe, 86, has suffered a massive stroke.

 

 

Keith Olbermann gave a very heartfelt tribute to him on his show yesterday(IE not the kind for someone you except to live for years to come). Seems like a pretty good pick if he makes it to 2015.
