Odjick spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Canucks after being selected by them in the 1990 entry draft
In 2014, Odjick was diagnosed with Amyloidosis – a disease he says attacked his organs and his heart.
Stan Smyl, the Canucks’ vice-president of hockey operations and former teammate of Odjick, described his friend as passionate, kind and funny, a joker who could lighten the room and still fill a tough role. Drafted by Vancouver in the fifth round of the 1990 NHL draft, Odjick became close friends with sniper Pavel Bure during their playing days with the Canucks and was on hand at Rogers Arena for the Russian Rocket’s jersey retirement ceremony last fall.
Experts say the heart condition Odjick suffered from is extremely rare, has no known cause and is almost always fatal. Cahoose said Montreal goalie Carey Price has also been an inspiration in Anahim Lake, where he was raised, and where he has opened breakfast programs at two schools as part of a Breakfast Club of Canada initiative.
