Sharks director of player development Larry Robinson, 64, had quite the health scare last month.
According to the Montreal Gazette, the legendary former defenseman was diagnosed with melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, after seeing a dermatologist in Florida in late June. He had surgery in New York, and after what had to be a stressful few days, his doctor eventually told him in mid-July that the cancer had not spread.
Robinson lost his brother, Brian, to brain cancer in 2005. He was just 56.
“When I was given the diagnosis, I imagined the worst-case scenario,” Robinson told the Gazette.
