I'm sure the NHL has reserved a spot for him in the HOF. Impressive life. Thank you Warren and thank you to his family for giving us so many miracles.

Tommy, Ricky and Mrs. Strelow,
My heart cries for you all. I have so many memories of Warren. MN High School Hockey tournaments, Eddie Websters, Washington Caps, teaching me Social Studies and letting me skip school to run and grab him lunch in White Bear.Always giving me A's. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I'm sure My Dad is giving him a huge welcome party with many other great guys right now.

We remember Warren from back in the early 70's when he was coaching hockey and baseball in Mahtomedi. Our son, David thought so much of him. We will miss him. Blessings to all of his family

While I never met you, I read a great deal about you. The Sharks and hockey are so lucky to have had you. Your contributions and successes will have an impact for decades to come. I hope your family and friends receive solace from memories of your accomplishments and character. I am sure tonight's OT win was for you, and hopefully the first with 15 more to follow this year.

It was such an honor to have an amazing soul like Warren coaching our team. So giving of himself, so dedicated to his job as well. I was honored to get the chance to meet him and thank him for all he did. He will be missed more than words can say. Lets bring home "the cup" for him! Thoughts and prayers go out to the Strelow family.

LETS GO SHARKS!
