One year ago Wednesday, the hockey world lost a legendary player, coach and man. Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk and long-time Barrie Colts coach lost his battle with cancer on August 18, 2020.
He was just 57 at the time of his death and is missed dearly by family, friends, and the hockey community. His son Eric, posted on Twitter Wednesday a loving note regarding his father who was lost far too soon.
"One year ago today we lost our beloved Dale. He was an incredible friend, father, husband, son, brother and teacher but most importantly, a man who cared and always wanted to make this world a better place... We love and miss you. To know him was to love him. #HawerchukStrong."
