Carolina Hurricanes Head Coach Announces Devastating News
The Carolina Hurricanes announced the passing of Bob Brind'Amour, father of head coach Rod Brind'Amour.
General Manager Don Waddell expressed deep sadness and praised Bob's remarkable character. Bob, a dedicated pipe fitter, passed on his strong work ethic to his children.
«There isn't a person who met Bob who will ever forget him,» said Waddell. «Bob was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather who lit up every room he entered with passion, humor and energy. He kept working as a pipe fitter in Campbell River well into Rod's NHL career and it's clear he passed that relentless work ethic down to his children.»
He peacefully passed away surrounded by family and friends in Campbell River, BC. The Hurricanes organization mourns his loss as he was an integral part of Rod's pursuit of a Stanley Cup. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Brind'Amour family during this difficult time.
