Former Montreal Canadiens fan favorite has filed for bankruptcy
Steve Bégin, a fan favorite during his time with the Montreal Canadiens, sadly announced on Thursday that he is declaring bankruptcy.
The 46-year-old former Habs player shared the news in a Facebook post. Steve Bégin explained that his financial troubles stem from his investment in a civil engineering company, which went bankrupt after he had invested significant sums of money since 2013. The company's failure severely impacted his finances, ultimately leading to his bankruptcy.
"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 Bégin played for the Montreal Canadiens from 2003 to 2009 and was well-loved by fans for his fiery personality and dynamic presence on the ice. He was always willing to give interviews and did so with a smile.
During his NHL career, Bégin played in 524 games with the Canadiens, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, and Calgary Flames, scoring 56 goals and 52 assists. He was drafted 40th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft and officially retired on January 16, 2014.
