Former NHL enforcer Garrett Burnett dead at just 46 years old

Former NHL and minor-league enforcer Garrett "Rocky" Burnett has reportedly passed away at just 46 years old.

Burnett played just 39 games in the NHL with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks during the 2003-04 season, but his exploits throughout the minor league circuit are a thing of legend. During one season with the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the AHL in 1999-2000 he racked up an insane 506 penalty minutes!

At six foot, 3 inches, 235 pounds and with fists like cinder blocks, Burnett was an absolute menace to opposing players. Who can forget the time when he literally threw a net at an opposing goalie during a brawl in Quebec's LNAH?

Absolute madman.

RIP, Rocky. Gone but never forgotten.
