Steve Begin was an NHL star who played over 500 games in the NHL and finished his career with a respectable 108 points and 56 goals.

If you remember Begin, you probably remember him most for his time with the Montreal Canadiens. It is here where he had most of his success, playing for an iconic franchise that was always near and dear to his heart.

Unfortunately, Begin has fallen on hard times. Despite making a substantial amount of money during his career, Begin is now going bankrupt. However, it's not because he was spending all of his cash on garbage. Instead, as he pointed out on his Facebook, he had to file for bankruptcy because the civil engineering company he invested did the same.

"The civil engineering company in which I had been proposed to invest large sums of money since 2013, has gone bankrupt, which has had a negative impact on my financial situation and consequently also caused a bankruptcy. I could have tried to avoid the subject, but opted to talk openly about it, as I believe there are lessons to be learned [...] I find this experience very trying, disappointing and above all hurtful for me and those close to me, but as always, I'll keep pushing forward to achieve great projects despite this ordeal."

Begin is one of the more beloved role players in the history of the Montreal Canadiens, and you can imagine the hurt some fans are feeling right now. Hopefully, Begin is able to get back on his feet sooner rather than later.
