While he may have only played 91 games in the NHL, the Ontario native represented Canada and had a significant career overseas as well, so this is another passing that should be mourned by the hockey world. We send our condolences to the family, friends and former teammates of Trader, who will all be in our prayers as they look to get through this tragic time in their lives.
