Steve Chaisson was killed in a one-car accident following a team party after the Hurricanes were eliminated from the first round of the playoffs. The franchise was making its first postseason appearance since 1992, when it was based in Hartford.
Carolina Hurricanes captain Kevin Dineen spoke of Chiasson's humbleness. ``Steve wasn't a man of many words but he was comfortable in any situation,'' Dineen said. ``When he needed to say something, he'd be the type of guy to say it.'' ``There are things we all wish we'd done differently,'' said Dineen, the last person to see Chiasson alive. ``This tragedy comes down to one person's judgement. It was a direct result of Steve's stubbornness and his desire to see his family.'' |
