It is with a heavy heart that we share the somber news of the passing of Larry Korchinski, a notable alumnus of the University of Saskatchewan College of Law, former Blades Hockey player, and Huskies Men's Hockey star. Larry Korchinski is remembered not only for his athletic achievements but also for his presence and contributions to the Senior Alumni over the past years.
Larry Korchinski is the father of Kevin Korchinski, a defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks. The Blackhawks' organization and the hockey community have been mourning the sudden and tragic loss of Larry Korchinski.
Kevin Korchinski has been absent from the Blackhawks' lineup for the past week due to personal matters. Today, the reason for his absence came to light, revealing the heartbreaking news of his father's passing.
