Key points

  • Hellebuyck was booed in his return to Winnipeg with the Devils
  • He says threats and off-ice incidents involving his family led to his trade request
  • He did not start against his former team

Connor Hellebuyck went back to Winnipeg on Tuesday night, and the boos rained down.

The decorated goaltender, now with the New Jersey Devils, did not start against his former team [1]. He has revealed that death threats against his family were among the reasons he asked the Jets for a trade [1].

Hellebuyck said it went beyond online threats. Off-ice incidents involving his family also played a part [2]. Newsweek reported he said there was "more than death threats" behind the request [3].

The Daily Mail reported the threats came from fans in Canada after his heroics for Team USA, and that Hellebuyck said they "crossed the line" [4].

On Scene's take: rivalries are part of hockey. Threatening a man's wife and kids is not. Good on Hellebuyck for putting his family first.
