Sad news indeed. Obviously, I remember the guy a whole lot. Really can,t wait to see how that happened.....

 

[HabsDood]

[luthar]

CTE incomming?

 

[Norud The Dwarf]

Sad, hoping it's not the usual tragic story we see too often in sports. He was an honest, hard working player.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

That sucks. What happened?

 

[TheNyclaus]

What a shocker...49 years old! And still no details as to the circumstances.

My deepest condolences go out to family and friends of Todd...may you RIP.

The Animal was a beauty, always there for his teammates and to keep everyone honest. He actually wrote and illustrated children's books away from the hockey wars. RIP Todd.

Funny how the tough guys seem to have a softside. Was one of my fav's and had a tough job with few enforcers on the team during his stay. Another tough guy that died way to early. I am sure the NHL regardless of why, will have some splannin to do. Every time a tough guy dies their are more and more questions. Would be interesting for a a brain scan to see what kind of damage hockey fights on him. Always like him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNXb3jREqtk Probert dropped

 

[Stoneburg]

I remember him well, I hope he found some peace in this life, if not, in the next.

 

[Le Tricolore]

I don't remember him as a player, but when I went to my first ever game in 93, my uncle bought me a Canadiens magazine. He was on the cover holding a paintbrush.

RIP Todd Ewen. Far too young.

Just seen it this morning on the news was deer hunting so no info until I got home. Wasn't very old, seems enforcers are dying young.

Mario and Ewen combining for a nice goal And then taking out both Hawks tough guys

 

[Luigi Habs]

Ewen was my favorite habs enforcer as a kid.

RIP

Todd Ewen left us all memories of courage and devotion to winning. Todd has a special place in my heart and to many other fans throughout the NHL. There's major league hockey up there in heaven and their all on the ice waiting for you. For his family a huge loss but only for a short while.

Wow another fighter dead.

I have always like a good(not staged) fight in the NHL. But with so many fighters dead at a young age I really have to change my thinking.
I really can't think of more than 2 offensive players dying before 50 but I can list 5 tough guys off the top of my head that are dead.
RIP-Ewen, Kordic, Probert,Boogaard and Belak
I feel really bad for there families.

 

[Harpo]

No news on how he died?

I sure hope it's not related to his hockey career.

Concussions, depressions, headeache, etc. is a ****** way to end your life.

Suicide.

So sad. RIP.

 

[Harpo]

Suicide.

So sad. RIP.

That's terrible.

I guess this will be eventually linked to his career as an enforcer.

That was entertaining in the day, but yeah, anything that can ban hockey fights is OK with me. People are literally dying so that I can enjoy a good scrap.

God damn it

Suicide.

So sad. RIP.

We've learned former #nhl enforcer Todd Ewen appears to have died of self-inflicted gunshot wound to head @CTVNews

It's a sad and tragic trend in most full contact sports. The brain injuries pile up, and the leagues dismiss the problems publicly to diminish potential legal actions. In my mind it's way beyond irresponsible. There's culpability by intentional inaction.

Very sad...

This has to stop. Someone has to wake up or kids will stop playing hockey.

And it will damage the reputation of those sports. And youth will stop playing. And interest will diminish because of it.

Fighting is useless. Stop it.

RIP Todd. You were an honest hockey player. Always liked him
