Mr. Smith was a class man. Coached me in hockey at a young age with the Winnipeg Monarchs. Taught me alot of the fundamentals of becoming an adult. Had the pleasure of continuing our friendship when he lived in Sudbury, as he would attend the Sudbury Wolves games and watch me play. Even the coach picked out small details missing in my game and politely brought them to my attention. Mr. Smith will be missed by family and friends alike. kbflpm - Posted by: Blair Scott () on: Mar 12, 2014
