Garnet Bailey Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 13, 2001.
Ace of `Bailey-baisse'

When Garnet Bailey would come to scout a game in Worcester, Mass., he would announce himself by saying, "table for two, please" as a tribute to the legendary meals served when the IceCats were at home.

That is how Bill Ballou, a hockey writer for The Worcester Telegram and Gazette, remembers Mr. Bailey, adding that he was "a pretty aggressive player on the ice, but a sweetheart off the ice."

Mr. Bailey, 53, known as Ace, played 11 seasons in the National Hockey League, and was a scout for 20 years, the last seven as director of pro scouting for the Los Angeles Kings. The team's general manager, Dave Taylor, said Mr. Bailey had a gift for measuring the intangibles that a player could "bring to the table."

Food mattered at home in Lynnfield, Mass., too, according to his sister-in-law, Barbara Pothier. For his wife, Kathy, his son, Todd, and friends, he would cook a dish called "Bailey-baisse, with "every kind of meat you could think of ‹ tenderloin tips, chicken, pork chops, sausages," Sautéed, then baked with onions and tomatoes, Ms. Pothier said, "it was fall-off-the-bone delicious."

Mr. Bailey took a Los Angeles flight, United 175, from Boston on Sept. 11. It struck the World Trade Center.
Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on November 25, 2001.


Of Lynnfield, September 11, Garnet "Ace". Loving husband of Katherine (Pothier) Bailey and devoted father of son Todd (23), both of LynnfieId. A veteran of 11 NHL seasons as a player. Bailey broke-in with the Boston Bruins during the 1968-69 season and spent five years with the club. While with the Bruins, he was a member of Stanley Cup championship teams in 1969-70 and 1971-72. Bailey also spent two seasons each with the Detroit Red Wings and the St. Louis Blues, and three years with the Washington Capitals. Bailey moved to the World Hockey Association for the 1978-79 season and joined the Edmonton Oilers where he was a line mate of teenage phenomenon Wayne Gretzky. When Bailey's playing career ended following the 1979-80 season, he turned to coaching, with one-year stints with Edmonton's Central Hockey League affiliates in Houston (1979-80) and Wichita (1980-81). In 1982 he became a scout for the Edmonton Oilers where he spent 13 seasons, during which Edmonton won five Stanley Cups. In 1994 he joined the LA Kings, where he was currently the Director of Pro Scouting. Ace Bailey has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success, a success that includes seven Stanley Cup rings, a reputation for enormous generosity; a fierce protectiveness of all those he loved and an ability to light-up a room and the lives of all those who know him. Ace's personality was larger than life. Mr. Bailey was born in Lloydminister, Saskatchewan. Besides his wife and son, he leaves three sisters and an extensive Pothier family on his wife's side, including twenty nieces and nephews and countless dear friends. The memorial service will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The (Cam) Neely Foundation, 30 Winter St., 2nd Floor, Boston, MA, 02108.

Ace Bailey, or as we knew him in pre-hockey days in Lloydminster, Garnet, is missed by family, friends and those who shared in his hockey career. 9/11 was a terror we must never forget and as someone who knew Ace many years ago would know without a doubt that he would have stood up to the cowardly terrorists. Ace Bailey is missed and people like him are needed to help protect our values.

I wonder where Ace was on that plane, when the Hijackers took it over? Ace was no sissy, he would have fought. The most important goal of his NHL Career, was in 1972. Stanley Cup finals. Bruins vs. Rangers. Bruins led 5-2 after two periods. Rangers tied the score. With just under two minutes in regulation, Ace scored the winning goal. This was the fourth line that came through in a clutch situation. Bailey at Left Wing, Mike Walton at Center, and Ed Westfall Right wing. I did meet Ace a few times in person. He was real nice. Also during that series, Bailey had a fight with Ron Stewart. Bailey broke Stewart's jaw in two places.

Years pass but memories last. Garnet made a positive and lasting difference in people's lives. Hockey was even a tougher game than now and Garnet persevered using his toughness and spirited play to move on from Lloydminster, to Edmonton to thr NHL. A testament to his development as a person and a hockey player was that he stayed with the game as he loved as a scout and in player development.

My heart sank when I heard about Mr. Bailey's tragic death on 9/11. I visited New York City recently and saw Garnet "Ace" Bailey's name on the memorial at Ground Zero.I shed a tear for him and the innocent lives lost on flight 175. He was a wonderful human being. What a tragic loss for his family, friends and fans. My prayers are with them.

September 12, 2015

Lloydminsterites of Garnet's time there will remember him as a feisty, talented young hockey player. Now we remember the man he became and sadly because of 9/11 too early his legacy. Garnet was always a "fighter" and I know he would have been fighting to the end for his fellow passengers against the terrorists.

Whenever the Rangers win a game a mention some of the opposing teams players in my '
"Rangers Win" facebook cheer. I also try to remember a player from that same team when I was a kid growing up watching the NHL. Last night's 4-3 win over the Caps game included some of the Caps players, my anti Ranger facebook friends aannnnnd a player from the 70's. The only player I remembered was Ace Bailey. After I posted it on my FB page, one of my co-Ranger fans mentioned he was lost on 9-11. My condolences to his family and Capital nation. Living in NJ just 50 miles from Manhattan and coming a canceled job assignment from being in that building that day, I feel very fortunate to be able to share this story.
RIP, Ace
