Steve Bégin was a fiery player on the ice, known for the intensity he brought to the fourth line. He started his NHL tenure after getting drafted by the Calgary Flames in 1996 40th overall. During his six seasons with the team, he recorded 26 points and 214 penalty minutes in 159 games.
However, many hockey fans might know him more from his five seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. He played 266 games in five seasons with the team, earning 66 points and 275 penalty minutes. After his time with the Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, and Nashville Predators, he finished a 524-game career and retired in 2014 upon the advice of his doctor.
Unfortunately, this former Canadiens forward is facing significant financial issues in his retired life. In public posts made across several social media platforms, Steve Bégin shared that he was a heavy investor in an engineering company that went under in 2013, forcing him to also file for bankruptcy.
