Fallen Canadians with ties to hockey

Countless hockey players of all skill levels have served in the Canadian military over the years. Sadly, many of them gave their lives.

Please note: The list is not reflective of all fallen Canadian hockey players who served, as no official count of hockey players was made upon enlistment.
