    My condolences to Joan and the Rodger family. I truly appreciate the passion and commitment of Coach Bill, my first hockey coach, who drove me to all my practices and games in the first few years that I played. Cheers to the man who coached the 1971-72 Blyth Peewees to the first OMHA championship in the history of Blyth Minor Hockey. Rest in Peace.
