“Lookin’ back on the memories of
the dance we shared beneath the stars above.
For a moment, all the world was right.
How could I’ve known that you’d ever say ‘good bye?’
And our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain, but I’d’ve had to miss the dance.”

Andrew Hansen
Regrettably, I haven’t seen Bryan since the last year John Lagerquist and I were lucky enough to have Bryan as our goalie on the team we coached. I know I can speak for John when I say that we were selfishly VERY happy to see Bryan come out for tryouts in the Spring, he was the one player that really never needed to tryout but still put 120% in every tryout, every game, every year.
I was very upset to hear the tragic news. The only thing bigger than Bryan’s glove hand was his heart. He was an absolute pleasure to coach, I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know Bryan through hockey. I will always remember his kind and thoughtful nature, his competitive drive and how he carried himself as a perfect gentlemen no matter what the situation.
My thoughts are with the entire family, I am so very sorry for your loss.
Coach Andrew

Everyone tries to define this thing called character. It’s not hard. Good character is doing what’s right when nobody’s looking. Bryan had amazing character, someone I am proud to have known. All my love goes out to his family. Mourn your loss, but don’t forget to celebrate his life.
