Luc Bourdon, a promising defenseman who split time with the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose was killed Thursday when his motorcycle struck a tractor-trailer in a crash near his hometown. He was 21.

"Luc was a winner, he was a competitor," said Kent Hughes, his agent. "There was no quit in him. He persevered through a lot. He was a great guy and a great teammate."

Bourdon, who played his junior hockey with the Moncton Wildcats, Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Val d'Or Foreurs of the QMJHL, split his first pro season in 2007-08 between Vancouver and the American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose.

"Our sympathies and prayers are with all friends and members of the Bourdon family," said PHPA Executive Director, Larry Landon.
