Read MoreJack was over the adult league I was a goalie in. I also was coaching youth. Jack was the best. Saw things as they should be. Did not play games. Was straight up.

The greatest coach I ever had! Because of him, I am a Montreal Canadiens fan till this day. A true gentleman, but not a person to mess with! RIP.

I am saddened by the loss of a good neighbor of over thirty years. Jack was a hockey player and he approached life that way! Not much more than that need be said. He was a good family man that cherished his family. He leaves a saint of a wife, Dorene, who always lifts the spirit of those who know her. You will be missed, Jack

I am sorry to learn only now of the passing of Mr. LeClair. I would have never gotten or been introduced to the great game of hockey if it were not for him having run the hockey program at The Ocean Ice Palace in Brick NJ. I am and have been a Monttreal Canadiens Fan since knowing him. I spent time on the ice with David here and remember Jackie with great fondness and will cherish his and your families memories of him forever. Rest in peace, a great coach, mentor and famly man.

I was so sad to hear of Jack's passing. I have fond memories of him from when he ran my hockey league at skate world. He made a great impression with my two daughters when he taught them how to play hockey. Good bye old friend.
