The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn that Stephen Peat has passed away from his injuries after a tragic accident just over two weeks ago. He was only 44 years old. Stephen was drafted 32nd overall by the @AnaheimDucks in 1998. In 2000, he was traded to the @Capitals and would play in 130 regular-season games, scoring 10 points for the franchise. Peat finished his pro career in the AHL following the 2006-07 season. In the wake of this tragic accident, Stephen will be helping to save numerous lives through organ donation. We send our deepest condolences to Stephen’s family, friends, and former teammates during this difficult time.

The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn that Raymond Sawada has passed away at the young age of 38. Sawada was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2004 @NHL Entry Draft to the @DallasStars. He played 11 games with the team, scoring a point. Raymond’s love for the game continued on after his NHL career with his involvement in the Burnaby, BC community, and coaching his two daughters. He was a dedicated and hard-working firefighter, family man, and incredible friend. We send our deepest condolences to his wife Nicole, daughters Victoria and Charlotte, his family, and friends during this very difficult time.
