Former Anaheim Ducks forward Nicolas Kerdiles died in a motorcycle accident Saturday morning at the age of 29.
“We are heartbroken to hear the news that Nic Kerdiles passed away in a motorcycle accident this morning. Nic became the first player from Orange County to play for the Ducks in 2017. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family and loved ones,” the team wrote in a social media post.
Kerdiles, who grew up in Irvine, Calif., became the first player from Orange County to play for the Ducks following Anaheim selected him in the second round of the 2012 draft.
