I am sorry to hear of Ed's passing I played with him in my first year as an Edmonton Oil King- I always admired his strong play and leadership. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family Darryl Havrelock

As a lifelong friend who grew up with Ed in Vegerville Alberta and strapped on shin pads many many times together I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Diachuk family. Looking at some old pee wee pictures brings back many happy memories. Rest well my friend.
