Hopefully we honour him tonight with a moment of silence.

Montador said the injury caused a disruption in the neural transmitters in his brain, and coupled with not being able to play the sport he loves, depression set in.

"I can see why people have a hard time with … being taken away from something they love to do and not sure if you'd ever get back the chance," Montador said. "There's a lot of uncertainty, a lot of fear, a lot of anxiety and depression that comes with that. I've had a lot of help to work through that, and I feel like I've taken the right steps."

A conditioning stint with Rockford has been discussed to get Montador into game shape, but for now, just being around his teammates has brought joy.

"Here we are, I can smile and talk about it a little bit and get on the ice," Montador said. "It's a brand new day."

so sad

Former NHL player Steven Montador was found dead inside his Mississauga home early Sunday morning, according to Peel Regional Police.

Police said a female friend woke up at 2 a.m. to find Montador deceased. She contacted police and he was pronounced dead just after 2:30 a.m. at his residence.

"Foul play is not suspected, pending the outcome of an autopsy," said Const. Fiona Thivierge, a Peel police spokesperson.

At this time, Thivierge said, the incident is being treated as a sudden death investigation, not a criminal investigation.

That's really terrible. Always seemed like a good guy, and had some good games for the Sabres. Condolences to his family and friends.

@mirtle
Steve Montador's death believed to be a suicide. He suffered from concussions and depression. Difficult financial situation too I'd heard.

 

[Irving Zisman]

That is absoultely tragic. Really hits home, as depression runs in my family and I've seen it ruin the lives of so many.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

ugh, so sorry. All the best to his wife/kids/family
