BREAKING: Very sad news for Islanders Legend Mike Bossy in his battle with cancer
Back in October 2021, it was announced that four-time stanley cup champion and possibly the best goal scorer in NHL history, was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
"Today it is with sadness that I must retire from your screens for a mandatory break. A necessary break during which I will have to receive treatment for lung cancer.
"I can tell you that I intend to fight with the determination and the enthusiasm that you have seen me display on the ice and in my game. That same determination that helped me achieve my dreams and my goals, the one that propelled me to the top of my sport when I was still playing."
According to multiple Islanders reporters, Bossy has returned to his home to live out his last moments with his family.
