Former Flames Asst Coach Paul Jerrard passes at 57
https://omavs.com/news/2023/2/16/oma...l-jerrard.aspx
Quote:
The Omaha Mavericks are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Hockey assistant coach, Paul Jerrard. He was 57.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of assistant coach, Paul Jerrard. Paul had been quietly fighting a long-term battle with cancer. Our program will be forever indebted to PJ for his countless positive impact," Omaha hockey Head Coach Mike Gabinet said. "PJ attacked each day with a team first attitude, vibrant enthusiasm, and an unmatched willingness to help grow and develop our young men. Knowing PJ first as my coach in pro hockey, and now having had the chance to work alongside him each day, I am beyond grateful for the lessons he shared and the loyal friendship we forged.
"There were no small jobs for PJ, and he never had a bad day, he made the people around him better and we will forever miss his presence in our locker room and lives. He was a man who lived his life with great integrity, class, and the desire to always be the best role-model and citizen he could be. He was my coach, mentor, colleague and most importantly friend who will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Cheryl and daughters Catherine & Meaghan."

Seemed like a good guy during his time here. Not a lot of minority coaches in hockey and he worked his way up to the best league in the world. RIP.

Sad to hear.
Was he the first black coach to work for the Flames?
Seemed like a nice guy.
