Former NHL forward officially declares bankruptcy after 13 seasons with league
Former fan favourite NHL has unfortunately announced on Thursday that he was declaring bankruptcy.
46-year old, Steve Begin has played for several teams in the NHL but is mainly famous for his time with the Montreal Canadiens.
On Thursday, Begin released a public statement on Facebook confirming the unfortunate news:
"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 Begin played 524 career NHL games between the Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, and the Calgary Flames. During his time with these teams he managed to record 56 goals and 52 assists.
Begin was originally drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft and was the 40th overall pick. He officially announced his retirement from the league on January 16, 2014.
