Terrible if true, he was a real character in a pretty staid league.

That's a name I haven't heard in a while. Obviously hope it's not true.

When family and friends report a victim it's generally just a formality that the police haven't confirmed yet. That's really sad to hear, he was such a character.

I went to a charity hockey event in Hamilton last night at 6:00 and I literally took one picture and It was of Emery.

Don’t really know how to embed picture.

So sad...

Always sad when someone passes away before their time but Emery had serious issues that he never seemed to address. I’m not a fan of turning someone into a saint upon their death.

“On September 18, 2017, Emery was arrested for assault with a weapon and uttering threats towards then-fiancé Keshia Chanté, after Chanté went to authorities seeking a restraining order. TMZ reported that Emery got violent and threatened Chanté, allegedly abusing her several times from July to September 2016.”

It's also not in good taste to immediately bring up all of a person's misdeeds literally hours after hearing news of their death.

Being an alleged domestic abuser is a bit more than a “misdeed” to me.

Sure. Can we also agree this isn't the time and place for that discussion? Whatever he did or did not do I don't think death is the answer to those allegations.
