Letter from Gino Odjick - Vancouver Canucks - News

Gino Odjick, one of the great characters and most beloved Vancouver Canucks has been diagnosed with a terminal disease. I loved Gino as a Canuck fan. I wish him all the love I can muster and will think of him through this. GINO GINO GINO.... Im proud to be a fan of yours. Fight the Fight my friend.

Good luck Gino

That sucks. He has had a rough go of it in retirement. Always seemed like an amusing guy.

Sigh.

I actually know Gino a little bit personally (haven't seen him in a few years now). This really bums me out.

He is an incredibly nice guy and as down to earth as you could ever hope for a pro-athlete to be.

All the best big fella. I hope I get a chance to buy you one more pop.

wow............best of luck, Gino.

Apparently AL patients have about 3-4 years when diagnosed and treated these days. Keep your chin up Gino.

 

[dash]

Man, this sucks. All the best Gino.

 

[mooger_35]

Brutal. Always one of my favourites back in "the day".

He's had a hard go and this is just way too short for anyone.

I was out of town but my friend was there. she said so many big tough dudes were trying to hide the water works when he came out. I love that big man.

Tragic. Prayers are with you. Don't quit fighting..
