  • Former Cap Chris Simon Passes Away

    Former Cap Chris Simon Passes Away

    It is with sad news today that we have learned of the passing of former Washington Capitals forward Chris Simon.

    Simon, who was born in Wawa, Ontario, Canada, was drafted into the NHL 25th overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1990 NHL Draft, but would be part of the infamous Eric Lindros trade to the Quebec Nordiques that would also see Peter Forsberg, Steve Duchesne, Kerry Huffman, Mike Ricci, Ron Hextall, and a pair of draft picks go to Quebec.

    Simon would shift over to Colorado when the Nordiques relocated to Denver in 1995 to become the Avalanche. During their first season in Colorado, Simon and the Avalanche would win the Stanley Cup in 1996. Then on November 2nd, 1997, Simon would be traded to the Capitals with Curtis Leschyshyn for Keith Jones and a pair of draft picks. Simon would play an integral part for the Capitals as he would be a part of the 1997-98 team that would make their first ever Stanley Cup Final appearance.

    In his seven years with the Capitals Simon would record career highs in goals (29 – 1999-2000), assists (20 – 1999-2000), and points (49 – 1999-2000). On November 1st, 2002 Simon would be traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, and after that he would go on to play for the New York Rangers, Calgary Flames, New York Islanders, and Minnesota Wild.

    Simon would end his NHL career in 2007-08 as a member of the Wild. Simon would go on to play in 15 NHL season that would see him play in 864 games with 144 goals and 161 assists for 305 points. Simon would also amass 1,824 penalty minutes.

    TXHT would like express our condolences to Simon’s family, friends, and former teammates during this difficult time. Simon was 52 years old.
