Rick Aslin

Dear Aslin family: It was sadness today as I visited the Ball Hockey Edmonton website and read the news. Although I didn't know Rick that well I do remember his passion for the game and seen him often around the rinks. A few years after Rick was away from the arena I bumped into him and he had a welcoming hello for me and we enjoyed a pleasant conversation. I can't imagine what the family is going through at this time.
Take care.

Laine and all of Rick's beloved family, my heart goes out to you in this time of tremendous loss. May the many happy memories of Rick's generosity, humor, sincerity and honesty keep him close to your heart as it will mine. The depth and meaning of his friendship and listening ear were never really understood by him as that was just his way but he truly touched my life forever and I am truly grateful for having known him.

His family was truly his pride and joy and I know that with the...

To our dear friends, Lanie, Trevor, & Tom, and family members, Walter & myself are so sad for you at this time. Rick will always have a very special place in our hearts. We will sure miss him.

We send our condolences to the Aslin family, on behalf of everyone at Ball Hockey Edmonton. Rick was a key member of the Executive of the Men's league in the early years. His vision and hard work has made our league what it is today. Rick Aslin was not only a hard working volunteer, but he was also a friend to many people in the ball hockey community. Our thoughts are with your family at this sad time. We will miss you Rick.

Dear Laine:

Again my sympathies to you and your family. I was glad you were at the door when I dropped the card off, and we were able to speak, in case I cannot make it to the service.
You are one strong lady and I am so glad I have met a lot of Rita's family. You are all truly wonderful and genuine people.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Mrs.Aslin,Trevor and Tom, my deepest condolences to the entire family and friends. On behalf of Shami and myself I cannot tell you how close I was to HIS HONOR MR.RICK ASLIN. He will always be remembered as a mentor and a true friend. He was a very special person to everyone he met; he always had the time to listen. He was like a father figure to me and I will always cherish the times I spent with Coach Aslin. He will also be remembered for taking a bunch of teenager's and turning them...

My condolances go out to the entire Aslin family at this sad time, Rick will always be remembered for his vision of starting Minor Ball Hockey here in Edmonton, I remember the early days of Ball Hockey meetings in the basement of JP Arena and the Provincial Road Trips, Rick's sense of humor,passion for the game and hard work always made it easier to be at the rink.
Rink will be missed by members of Ball Hockey right across Canada.

Jackie and I would like to send our condolences to the Aslin family. We are saddened to hear of Rick’s passing. Although we had lost contact with Rick over the years we still have fond memories of him. When we think of Rick, his zeal and commitment towards the sport of ball hockey comes to mind. In all of his dealings with respect to the game he was a dedicated, firm, and fair man.

To Trevor and Tom, take care.
