Francis Durocher, a defenseman with the Drummondville Voltigeurs, lost his battle with leukemia, and we are very sorry to report his loss.
After being selected by the QMJHL, Durocher, who was just seventeen years old, was expected to have a very bright future in hockey.
We express our sympathies to everyone out there, as well as those going through similar situations right now, and extend our condolences to the friends, family, and loved ones touched by this awful news.
