For the second time in less than a week, tragedy has struck a former Syracuse Crunch player.

The sad news on Thursday was that forward John Vigilante has died at age 33.

Vigilante skated for the Crunch in 2008-09, posting seven goals and eight assists in 52 games. Vigilante played pro from 2006-13, including four years in the AHL.

The cause of death was not immediately reported.

Sunday, ex-Crunch goalie Ray Emery died in a swimming accident.
