TheClevelandHockey Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Did a quick google and couldn't find any news sources except a police twitter and the HF boards.Apparently he hung himself. What really gets me is the "great fan" stuff. It's sad to think of our country as a "Steeler Nation", because that would mean that we're a country of near-sighted inbreds from the mountains that can't speak competent English.Let's go Brownies!You mad because the Tribe is stylin' on you?

Don Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 James Mirtle tweeted it earlier per police reports. What a shame.

nash61 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Had the opportunity to see him play once. The guy had a lot of heart. Shame to lose him so early.

Neon_Matrix Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 So, will the Winnipeg Jets' part deux become the first team in Pro Sports history to begin an existence with a memorial patch?

randyc Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Ripper was one of my favourite players when he was with the Canucks. The guy had a lot of heart and played with no fear out there. His fights against Boris Valabik and Hal Gill I'll never forget, 5'11" Rypien vs 6'7" Valabik and Rypien manhandled him. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 So, will the Winnipeg Jets' part deux become the first team in Pro Sports history to begin an existence with a memorial patch?I doubt a patch, but a helmet sticker should follow suit.

His fights against Boris Valabik and Hal Gill I'll never forget, 5'7" Rypien vs 6'7" Valabik and Rypien manhandled him. RIP Ripper was actually 5'11, but that's still an outstanding job.

north dakota Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The Jets just lost one of the hardest working players in the NHL. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Its hard to imagine someone that was "living the dream" could be hurting so much inside.Just because a person is a professional athlete making a lot of money, doesn't mean they don't have other things going on in their lives. That's what a lot of people forget. They have lives outside of what you see and are normal people too and have emotions and problems just like you and I.

Corvus Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Rypien was a really troubled guy apparently, he was gone from the Canucks most of this year for personal reasons,and had had the same thing happen in other years. It's a shame that presumably with access to the best resources, he wasn't able to overcome his demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
