	Former Nashville Predators tough guy Wade Belak was found dead in a Toronto hotel Wednesday afternoon. The 35-year-old from Saskatoon was found in the tony 1 King West hotel and condo residence just blocks from the Air Canada Centre. Belak retired in March after a long NHL career that included stops in Colorado, Calgary, Toronto, Florida and Nashville. He was recently announced as one of the ex-NHLers who would be performing on CBC's Battle of the Blades this year.

Man, I used to love listening to his local radio show.

If you want to say it happens in 3's, than Belak is the 3rd person.

Belak was only 35 years old. It looks like he killed himself.

I know people are going to link this suicide to fighting right away.

HOLY $^$$^

I didn't see this coming AT ALL.

R.I.P. to Wade Belak, he wasn't much of a player from a skill perspective but he knew his role on the teams he was on and was reportedly a "glue" guy in regards to chemistry on the team.

Wow....

I won't speculate on things but this is a very disturbing trend.

The Sun took down the suicide headline

Still unfortunate, 3 enforcers in 4 months, very sad

RIP Wade

Something is fishy. I don't know what but it just doesnt make any sense.

I heard on the radio that Belak was up in Toronto recording TV episodes for what's basically the Canadian equivalent to Dancing With the Stars except they do ice skating instead of ballroom dancing.

Belak also resigned with the Predators to continue his radio and TV announcing jobs from last season.

So from the outside, it looked like he was staying busy and things were going OK.

Yeah Belak was scheduled to appear on Battle Of The Blades. He seemed like a real happy guy to me.
