Former player of the Montreal Canadiens to declare bankruptcy
Steve Begin was a fan favourite during his days with the Montreal Canadiens and he sadly announced on Thursday that he was declaring bankruptcy.
The 46-year-old ex-hockey player for the Habs Steve Begin confirmed the sad news in a Facebook post he made today.
"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.
Steve Bégin played for the Montreal Canadiens from 2003 to 2009 and he was definitely a fan favourite for the way he had such a dynamic and fiery personality on the ice. He also never turned down an interview and always did it with a smile.
Steve Begin played in 524 career NHL games with the Habs, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, and Calgary Flames. In those games, he scored 56 goals and 52 assists.
The Calgary Flames drafted Steve Begin during the 1996 NHL Entry Draft 40th overall. He officially called it a career and retired on January 16, 2014.
