The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of Sergei Berezin at the age of 52 years old.
Sergei was drafted in the 10th round of the 1994 Entry Draft to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He would soon show his spectacular play when he joined the Leafs roster in 1996, spending five seasons with the team.
