Luc Bourdon Jersey Sent Home
June 2, 2008
When Luc Bourdon took off his jersey, signed it and gave it to a fan as part of the ‘Nucks’ “Jersey Off Our Backs” promotion — no one could have known that it would be the last time. At just 21 years of age, he died tragically in a motorcycle accident last week. Seemingly with the world in the palm of his hands, his bright future was cut far too short because he lost control of his new motorcycle and collided with a transport truck.
Amidst this most sorrowful time, and as more than 2000 people turned out to show their final respects for this Shippagan, N.B., native, news circulates of a considerable act of kindness. The person who won Luc’s signed jersey at the Canucks’ final home game anonymously sent it to Luc’s family. While nothing can relieve the pain of losing your child, I am sure their will be some comfort in having the jersey he wore in his final NHL game.
To the person who sent the jersey to Luc’s family, a thank you for showing what class hockey fans have — and for showing such compassion for the Bourdon family. That’s an example what being Canadian is all about.
