Luc Bourdon, a promising defenceman with the NHL's Vancouver Canucks, was killed Thursday afternoon when his motorcycle struck a tractor-trailer in his native northern New Brunswick.

Bourdon was a member of the Canadian team that won gold at the 2006 world junior hockey championship in Vancouver. He helped Canada win another gold at the 2007 world juniors in Sweden.

Bourdon played for Val d'Or, Moncton and Cape Breton of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before turning pro.

How Sad.

Luc had a very promising rookie year. He would have most likely had a great career in the NHL.

After which he would be financially set for life with not much to do but have fun and be toasted by everyone for having a great career.

Instead he STUPIDLY threw it all away by riding a motorcycle.

Now thats an idiot.
