Brock was a student studying mental health in Nova Scotia, according to the CBC. He had been home with family for a month. (RELATED: Spencer Grammer, Man Slashed Outside Of Manhattan Restaurant)
“Why would someone stab him multiple times if not to kill him,” Barry wrote on Facebook, the outlet reported. “May god have mercy upon the assailants souls and may detectives find them before I do!”
Barry was most known for his 11 season career in the NHL. He was drafted second overall to the Colorado Rockies in 1977. He spent majority of his career with the New York Rangers and was the team captain. Barry retired in 1990.
