After playing some old timer hockey in Transcona at the two local rinks, we lost. I am so sorry to hear of Brad's Passing away, the boys on the teams used to kid us all the time as we looked alike and were both red heads, I won't forget his easy going demeanor and fun joking ways. He was a very good hockey player and we enjoyed all the times we played together back then, my sincere condolences to the whole family on their loss.

I haven't seen Brad for about 20+ yrs or so. We met while at Canadian Professional Hockey School when we were about 11 or 12 years old. I always marveled at how great of a skater Brad was, which was made even more intense because I was just learning how to get better myself. I ran into him some time after when he worked at a Pic-A-Pop store in St. Vital and he remembered who I was. He was always very kind to me and I will always remember that. My heart and prayers go out to his family. He will be greatly missed, I'm sure. - Posted by: Roland Flaig (childhood hockey friend) on: Oct 30, 2013
