Trebek
Canadian and longtime Jeopardy! Host Alex Trebek died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer on Sunday.
He was 80 years old.
While he is most synonymous with his role on Jeopardy, Trebek gained even more popularity from hockey fans across the country after announcing the Ottawa Senators first pick (3rd overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft, which turned out to be Tim Stutzle.
Trebek also graduated from the University of Ottawa.
