winnipegfreepress.comHurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen was emotional after his team defeated the opposing side on Friday and advanced to the Stanley Cup Final. The 36-year-old Danish player fought back tears during a postgame interview. He said the past few days had been difficult but praised his teammates for their support.
Authorities confirmed that Andersen's longtime agent, Claude Lemieux, died by suicide on Thursday. Lemieux was 60 years old and had been a four-time Stanley Cup champion. A close family friend told the outlet that Lemieux had been battling depression. The friend said a public appearance earlier in the week may have triggered intense emotions.
Lemieux was found in the warehouse of his family's furniture business in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Andersen said he wanted to honor Lemieux by competing in the upcoming series.
