Hockey Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuk is undergoing chemotherapy after being diagnosed with stomach cancer in August, saying he is optimistic as he battles “the fight of my life.”

The 56-year-old Hawerchuk took a leave of absence from his position as coach of the Ontario Hockey League’s Barrie Colts in early September. The team said Hawerchuk was stepping away because of a health issue but wasn’t more specific.

Ducky is a hero to Jets fans my brother age and older, an absolute legend. He's also just a great guy. Super down to Earth and truly decent human being. Best of luck Ducky!

Hawerchuk was such a fun player to watch, just a gnat in tight quarters.

His rookie season was one of the greatest seasons ever by an 18 year old, and was the driving force of the Jets' turnaround from 32 points to 80.

Best of luck to him.
