Doug and I played on many hockey teams together. From 6th grade on we were on teams in the Evanston Boys Hockey Assn, High School and Junior teams. Since we played the same position (Doug was a much better goalie) we developed a friendship. Doug was an extremely motivated athlete and I was not surprised he played college hockey. Unfortunately we went our separate ways after high school. I was saddened when I heard his daughter drown in his pool. And his marriage split up after that. He always faced adversity in life and on the ice with great strength and class. Rest in peace Doug...I know you are the goalie on heaven's hockey team.
