The family of former NHL star Ron Duguay addressed pushback to the creation of a GoFundMe page after he was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. "I see so many things where people are like, 'He has millions of dollars from back in the day. I'm like, 'What are we talking about?'" Duguay's daughter Shay Thomas exclusively told Us Weekly. The 68-year-old Duguay, who played 12 seasons in the NHL from 1977 to 1989, was diagnosed with cancer at the end of 2024.
