The death of ex-NHL player Wade Belak has hit the hockey community hard.
Belak was found dead in his hotel Wednesday, just blocks from the Air Canada Centre in downtown Toronto.
Todd Simpson, Kelowna realtor and former NHL player, was with Belak this week participating in the taping of a new season of CBC's Battle of the Blades which airs in September.
Belak even tweeted this week that he was quote, "hanging out with his long lost brother", in reference to Simpson.
The two were teammates with the Saskatoon Blades during the 1993-94 season.
Calls to Simpson by AM 1150 News were not returned.
Belak was often seen training in Kelowna during the off-season.
