Jack was my coach twice and was not only a great hockey mind, but a great person. In his later years, I was so proud to have him come out and watch me coach my own son and then afterwards, share some great memories and lessons learned. Congrats Jack on making a difference and leaving others with so many fond memories! My condolences to the Ridgeway family.

Jack took me under his wing in 1992. He helped me get drafted into the OHL to the Newmarket Royals. Jack came to every game no matter what the weather was like! Thank you Jack. I'm sure there's some hockey to watch above!
