The information we received earlier regarding the passing of Mike Bossy was false.
The family of Mike has spoken and said:
Earlier today, we posted a tweet about NHL legend Mike Bossy that was based on false information.
We apologize to anyone who was affected by this error including friends, family, and fans of Mr. Bossy.
Our continued thoughts remain with him during this difficult time.� Spittin' Chiclets (@spittinchiclets) April 4, 2022
