The 46 year-old spent parts of eight seasons with the Canucks but settled in Michigan after finishing his NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings.
In a game between the Canucks and Colorado Avalanche in March 2004, Bertuzzi punched Avalanche forward Steve Moore in the head from behind. The hit ended Moore’s career.
Bertuzzi faced criminal charges and later took a plea deal. Moore and Bertuzzi settled a civil case with a private settlement in 2014.
