Former St. Louis Blues player Kelly Chase was a fan favorite for never backing down from a fight whether it came from Bob Probert or any other NHL tough guy, but now Chase faces his toughest challenge.

He has a lesion on his brain.  Chase said it hasn’t been determined if the spot is cancerous, if it could lead to multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, another disorder or simply be cured. 

Chase is an analyst for the Blues Radio Network and plans to be in the broadcast booth tonight despite dealing with numbness on the left side of his body and face.

The  St Louis Post-Dispatch  has more on the story.
