‘Mighty Ducks’ star suffers heartbreaking family loss

Shaun Weiss, of “Mighty Ducks” fame, is grieving after his girlfriend suffered a miscarriage.

According to the report, Weiss learned of the news last week and told TMZ that he and his girlfriend will try again for a child.

Weiss, who added the idea of becoming a dad gave him a new lease on life, has made headlines four years ago for his drug addiction, legal issues and homelessness.

In December, Weiss announced on social media that he and his girlfriend were expecting their first baby, calling the news “The BEST Christmas present EVER!”

The baby news had come after Weiss put on a pair of skates for the first time in nearly three decades, per the Daily Mail.

“Last time I skated was the final day of filming D3,” the 46-year-old actor, known for his role as Goldberg, said in October, referring to 1996′s D3: The Mighty Ducks.

“It’s like riding a bike. With bones that have aged 30 years.”
