An epilogue to the Garrett Gamble Story

The Montreal Gazette wrote a story about the death of Garrett Gamble and how his father, former Aeros and Canucks goalie Troy, is dealing with the pain of losing a son.

I wanted to share since it does contain some fairly powerful quotes from Troy.

Also, the writer explains why Troy never made it as a No. 1 goalie in the NHL. For those of you wondering, I have included that graph if you don't want to go to the Web site and read the entire piece for yourself.

"Dedicated Canucks fans will remember Gamble’s goaltending career with the team was brief, in part because it was cut short by repeated concussions and also the emergence of Kirk McLean in the early 1990s. How good he could have been without the shots to the head or his difficulties with conditioning will never be known, but while he was in Vancouver he had Garrett with him."
