I said on another post that I enjoy being able to celebrate the lives of some noteworthy area people. This was the 2nd member of the city's Sports Hall of Fame to die in the past several days. I wish I didn't feel the need to do this too often. To say I wish I didn't have to do it all would be unrealistic. That day comes for us all, sooner or later.... it's part of life. But enough reflection. From what I read, Red Leckie was a great guy, and it's my privilege to offer this tiny token of respect and appreciation for a life, apparently, well lived.

Thank you so much! It was a special surprise for our family to see this. It was so "fitting" for a guy who really did want to make it so that any child who wanted to, could play hockey.
We were and still are "honored" to call him our Dad/Poppa.
The Red Leckie Family
