Awful Awful news.
Even with the way that Johnny left the Flames, I still had a soft spot in my heart for him. A tiny underdog, that became an impact player in the NHL is a story you don't hear that often.
The ultimate in a feel good narrative, seeing him on the ice and his family in the stands, tells you everything you need to know about Johnny and his family, and I hope that they can take some solace in the fact that there are probably a lot of little players out there wearing the number 13 and fighting for their dreams.
RIP Johnny.
