Sad news out of the hockey world on Friday from a former NHL enforcer. Kelly Chase, formerly of the <a href='https://www.nhl.com/blues/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>St. Louis Blues</a>, <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartford_Whalers' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Hartford Whalers</a>, and <a href='https://www.nhl.com/mapleleafs/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Toronto Maple Leafs</a> announced his leukemia had returned. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Chasenpucks39/status/1854993975155032139'> </a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://fox2now.com/sports/kelly-chase-on-his-battle-with-leukemia/#:~:text=Former%20Blues%20enforcer%20and%20broadcaster,Louis%2C%20Chaser%20is%20in%20remission.' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Chase has been battling the serious disease since at least December of last year</a>. At that time, he first revealed his leukemia diagnosis and seemed to respond well to chemotherapy. In April, Chase took to social media with an update as he prepared for his fifth round of chemotherapy. He received messages of support from current NHL players, one such example being Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Domi who sent him good luck in his fight. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/maxdomi/status/1777125919443812855'> </a></blockquote></div> Despite this recent setback, there is some good news in that announcement. Chase said his brother is a 100 percent bone marrow match and provides a critical path forward in his treatment. Yes I have a Round 2 with this punk called leukemia. With the support of these amazing Doctors [at the] Siteman Center and all my friends prayers and support, we are hoping for a similar outcome as Round 1, wrote chase this week. I am ready to fight again and have a brother with 100% bone marrow match. I truly am grateful for everyone reaching out. I got this. Chase was optimistic that once more he would overcome the disease. Wow it is just amazing how he still keeps his fighting spirit and attitude so positive through all of this ordeal. In 458 NHL games, Chase didn't back down from anyone, racking up 2,017 penalty minutes in the process. Hockey fans will be there to cheer him on every step of the way through this last hurdle.
