Former Montreal Canadiens forward Steve Bégin has declared bankruptcy, after his investments in a local civil engineering firm, have dried up.
He updated the hockey world on his life with a recent social media post:
«The civil engineering company in which I had been proposed to invest large sums of money since 2013 has gone bankrupt, which has had a negative impact on my financial situation and consequently also caused a bankruptcy,» he wrote in French. «I could have tried to avoid the subject, but opted to talk openly about it, as I believe there are lessons to be learned.»
«I find this experience very trying, disappointing, and above all hurtful for me and those close to me, but as always, I'll keep pushing forward to achieve great projects despite this ordeal,» he added.
