It is with heavy hearts that we share news of Herb Townsend’s passing on
May 13th. Herb was a
volunteer with our association for many years both as a Coach and a team
Manager.
One of his former players, Marlowe Schott, remembers him fondly: “Coach Herb Townsend was one of the
greats. He truly put the magic in Minor
Hockey. We were privileged to play for
him and I think I speak for all of us when I say he built us up both as
players, and as people. When I look back
on my hockey days, I’ll always hear Herb’s voice: 'We’re going to the dance!'”
We extend our deepest condolences to Herb’s family and friends during this
most difficult time.
