It's never good to learn about the death of a former NHL player, especially one who was still relatively young, but a former Toronto Maple Leaf has passed away.

The NHL Alumni Association reports that 52-year-old former NHL player Sergei Berezin has passed away.
The Toronto Maple Leafs selected Berezin in the tenth round of the 1994 draft. Before leaving the squad, he would play for them for five more years.
The NHL Alumni Association is heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of Sergei Berezin at the age of 52 years old.

Sergei was drafted in the 10th round of the 1994 Entry Draft to the @MapleLeafs. He would soon show his spectacular play when he joined the Leafs roster in 1996, spending five seasons with the team.

Berezin then played for the @ArizonaCoyotes,
@CanadiensMTL, @NHLBlackhawks and the
@Capitals as his career went on. He totalled for 502 regular-season games-played, scoring 286 points.

In his retirement, he enjoyed coaching minor hockey, playing tennis, and most importantly, spending time with his family.

We send our deepest condolences to Sergei's family, friends, and former teammates during this extremely difficult time.
Our heart goes out to the Berezin Family.
