Died from a medical emergency. A real shame, always thought he was one of the more level headed writers. RIP.

he was an excellent analyst.. his and Staples Cult of Hockey shows were top notch..
When on Lowetide's show, his talks on astronomy were always a surprising treat.. he was an amateur astronomer, among many other things.

He'll be missed by many..

Very sad. RIP Bruce. Seemed like a really great person that got along with everyone and just loved hockey and the Oilers.

Dang. First Brownlee, now McCurdy. There aren't many Oilers writers that I enjoy reading, but Bruce was top of the list.

So sad.

I was saddened to read the news. Bruce seemed like a legitimately nice guy.
