We've just learned that former Winnipeg Jets coach Richard Bué has tragically passed away at the young age of 44.

Richard Bué, who served as the Video Coach for the Manitoba Moose in the AHL from 2016 to 2022, passed away over the weekend. His former organization released the following statement:

"The Manitoba Moose and True North Sports + Entertainment are heartbroken by the passing of former Moose video coach Richard Bue.

Our friend will be dearly missed by all those who had the fortune of knowing him.

Our sincerest condolences go out to Richard's family, friends and teammates."

On X, many tributes to Bué have been shared, including this one from a reporter covering the Jets and the Moose:

When Richard Bue stepped away from the Moose a few years back to be closer to family in Ottawa I wrote this:

«Bue is one of the best people I've ever met in hockey.»

Just a great guy.

We continued to chat and his last message to me was a congrats back in Feb.

Will miss him.

We extend our sincerest condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.
