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.
