The great Yvon Pedneault has passed away, news that has triggered numerous reactions and many extremely well-deserved tributes for the legendary analyst.

"It is with deep sadness that I learn of the passing of my great friend Yvon Pedneault following a brief and rapid illness. His departure leaves an immense void, his legacy is colossal. My thoughts go to Éric and his family, family and friends. Rest in peace, my friend."
