from the CP via the Winnipeg Sun,
Quebec provincial police say Hubert (Pit) Martin, a four-time NHL all-star in the 1960s and ’70s, is feared dead after his snowmobile plunged into an icy lake.
Spokeswoman Marie-Josee Ouellet says Martin, 64, was driving the vehicle on Lake Kanasuta in northwestern Quebec on Sunday when the ice cracked and he plunged into the freezing water.
Ouellet says a team of divers will attempt to retrieve Martin’s body today.
She says their efforts are being hampered by inclement weather.
Martin would have turned 65 next week.
