Former NHL player Poddubny dies

Former NHL right wing Walt Poddubny has passed away in his hometown of Thunder Bay. He was 49.

The cause of death is unknown, but - citing a source close to the family - the Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal reported Poddubny collapsed at the home of his sister late Saturday morning.

The Hockey News had an article on this, focusing on the plight of retired NHL'ers. Rick Vaive said he has been out of work for over a year.

I am sure a lot of the older players might not really have anything to fall back on except the connections they made during their playing days. If you find a link to that article feel free to share.

Thanks for sharing. I like this part as it might have made a difference of course as it said fell on deaf ears.

Quote:
When he was a member of the NHL Players’ Association executive committee in the late 1980s, Vaive suggested that rather than paying players a lump sum pension amount of $250,000 when they turned 50 years old (and had played 400 games in the league), they should have an option that instead would allow them to be paid, say, $50,000 a year for the five years immediately after they retired.
As Walt never got to see any of his dollars.
