OTTAWA — Former NHL enforcer Chris Simon has filed for bankruptcy, alleging he owes more than half a million dollars and is now surviving on government social assistance and disability cheques. According to Simon, he’s been trying to sell the cottage for seven years but was never able to find a buyer. Up until he left for the KHL, Simon had been paying $9,215 a month in child support, the affidavits said. Simon argued in his affidavit that his eldest son was 19 and in his first year of university when he stopped making child support payments in December 2013. His ex-wife argues she has had to pay for her son’s first year of university and that the band only helped pay school expenses after she applied when he stopped paying child support.
