Sad news emerges as former Montreal Canadiens star announces bankruptcy
Steve Begin, a beloved figure from his time with the Montreal Canadiens, has announced his bankruptcy after a failed investment.
Steve Bégin, who earned a special place in the hearts of Montreal Canadiens fans during his NHL career, has recently declared bankruptcy. The announcement came on Thursday via a Facebook post where the 46-year-old disclosed the financial strain caused by a failed investment.
"The civil engineering company in which I had been proposed to invest large sums of money since 2013, has gone bankrupt, which has had a negative impact on my financial situation and consequently also caused a bankruptcy. I could have tried to avoid the subject, but opted to talk openly about it, as I believe there are lessons to be learned," he wrote.
"I find this experience very trying, disappointing and above all hurtful for me and those close to me, but as always, I'll keep pushing forward to achieve great projects despite this ordeal," he added.
Begin, known for his energetic play and engaging personality, spent six seasons with the Montreal Canadiens from 2003 to 2009.
Over his career, he also played for the Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, and Calgary Flames. In total, he appeared in 524 NHL games, amassing 56 goals and 52 assists.
Begin was drafted by the Calgary Flames as the 40th overall pick in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft and retired from professional hockey on January 16, 2014.
We wish Steve Begin all the best and hope for a swift and successful recovery. Keep pushing forward-better days are ahead.
