Luc Bourdon, a promising prospect and maturing defenceman for the Vancouver Canucks and Manitoba Moose, was killed Thursday in a motorcycle-truck crash near Bourdon's hometown in northeastern New Brunswick.

Bourdon, 21, just 31 days after his final game of the AHL playoffs, was driving a motorcycle near the town of Lamèque, N.B., when it hit a tractor-trailer head-on at about 12:30 p.m. AT. Several news reports said it was a windy day in the area.
