Pens fan in peace..
Michel Brière was a rookie on the Penguins who was killed in a car accident after the season. Despite only playing 1 year, the Penguins retired his number. The only other number retired for the Pens is 66.
Now Brière's situation is a little different. He stated he wanted be a Penguin for life and was judged to be on the verge of a true star. I think the QMJHL even has an award named after him.
Just wanted to add that to the discussion.
