Calgaryflamesfan1976
Draft Pick
 
Join Date: Aug 2010
Flames Hello all Calgary Puck Forum users

My name is Matt Britton, and I am a 33 year old Calgary Flames fan living in Edmonton. I have been a fan since 1980, at a time when I lived in Montreal, until 1996.

If you are interested in it, I have created a facebook group in honor of 2 Calgary flames Draft picks who had their lives taken from us before they could begin their careers.

one is George Pelawa, who was drafted in 1986 by the Flames from Bemidji Minnesota. He was named Mr. Hockey that year. He died in a head on collision a few months after being drafted by the Flames

The other is Mickey Renaud, from the Windsor Spitfires. He died in Febraury 2008 from a heart condition: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and was a 5th round Draft pick of the Flames.

The group is:
Tribute to George Pelawa and Micky Renaud. Rest In PEace and can be found on the Facebook website.

if you need the link , let me know.

Please feel free to join, if you like, but it is not compulsory.

Thank you.

You should remove your last name... it is a public forum. Just to be safe.

Phew. For a second there I was scared that it was mandatory for all CP members to join.



Good cause though, I'll definitely take a peek at the page.

Why did you stop being a Flames fan in 1996? Did you just jump off the bandwagon?

And have full access to his Facebook page because I doubt he understands how to use the privacy settings.
