The Vancouver Hockey School is partnering with former Canucks defenseman Troy Stecher’s charity, the TS51 Foundation, to support men’s mental health. Bieksa lost a former teammate, Rick Rypien, after battling depression. Rypien was just 27 years old.

Bieksa rose to fame following his retirement as a commentator on the Hockey Night in Canada panel on Sportsnet. His opinions are honest and fair, as was his play on the ice.
That didn’t stop Bieksa from being a good person. His knowledge of the game and former teammates has allowed him to become one of the best hockey speakers in the NHL.
