Katie Moore died at a hospital in Boston. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in April, two months after Moore was traded from Tampa Bay to San Jose. No other information is available at this time. Moore missed the Sharks' final two playoff games against St. Louis and released a statement in June: "While it was disappointing to not be able to compete with my Sharks teammates in the playoffs, my wife's condition and care come first and I want to thank the Sharks organization, my teammates and their families for the love and support that has been shown to Katie and I during this difficult time." Moore, who appeared 133 games with Tampa Bay, is currently an unrestricted free agent. The 32-year-old has played for New York Rangers, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Toronto, Minnesota, Florida, Montreal, Tampa Bay and San Jose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Wow, that is so sad. I lost one of my grandpas to cancer years ago. Losing a grandpa is tough, but I'm sure it's nothing compared to losing your spouse. Must be so tough for him. All the best to Dominic, his family, and Katie's family.
