MAJOR: Former Canuck Charged for Millions in Fraud

A former Vancouver Canuck has been charged with fraud in a major case worth millions of dollars.

Former Vancouver Canucks 5th round pick Prab Rai has reportedly been charged with large scale financial fraud. The investigation that is finally reaching stages of being charged began back in January of 2021.

Rai has allegedly committed several million dollars in fraud in a real estate scheme.

The former hockey star is now awaiting his next trial date.

Prab Rai was a 5th-round pick with a lot of potential when he was selected in 2008. In the years after his draft, Rai showed major improvement to the point where the Canucks signed him to an entry-level deal. Shortly after signing Rai would get in an unfortunate car accident that would severely screw up his career.

Rai would miss an entire season before returning in 2011 to play in the ECHL. After 2 seasons in the ECHL, he would be forced to miss another year. From there he had a couple of short stints back in the ECHL before ultimately retiring in 2015.

Rai is a cautionary tale of how a career in hockey that gets cut short unexpectedly can go on to derail a person's life.
