MONTREAL (AP)—The 2-month-old son of Washington Capitals goaltender Jose Theodore (notes) has died.

The goalie’s sister-in-law made the announcement Thursday during her show on a Montreal-area radio station. Veronique Cloutier, whose sister Stephanie is married to Theodore, did not give details.

“We are aware of the heartbreaking news,” Capitals general manager George McPhee said in a statement. “At this time we ask that everyone respects the privacy of Jose and his family.”

Theodore and Stephanie Cloutier also have a 3-year-old daughter, Romy

This is definately pretty sad. I am about to have a kid myself and and definitely know I would be devistated by this. My thoughts and prayers go out to Jose, and his family at this time

This is so sad. I have a 2 week old now and I can’t imagine the kind of pain that he must be going through.

Here’s to hoping that his luck turns around on and off the ice.

I think every parent has that dream (nightmare) at least once with each child. With both of my kids I found myself waking in the middle of the night and walking to their crib just to check that they were breathing.

I hope everything works out for you and yours. I’m sure it will though. Good luck anyway.

My heart sunk when I read this. I have a 3 month old and feel panic just thinking about this possibility. I can’t even imagine how Jose and his wife are feeling. That is a pain that no one should ever have to experience.
