Hockey world loses another member
Lance Galibrath may have spent his entire career traveling on team buses in the minor leagues, but he did so because of his love of the game. Today the Ottawa 67's, Galibrath's Juniors team announced his passing.
The Ottawa 67's and OSEG are devastated to learn of the death of former player Lance Galbraith at the age of 42.
Galbraith starred for the Barber Poles for five seasons and helped lead the 67's to both the Memorial Cup championship in '99 and the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 2001.
"When you think of the guys we have had here, Lance was right up there with the most popular Ottawa 67's of all-time," said former Coach and GM Brian Kilrea.
"It's very sad and all of our thoughts are with his family, friends, and former teammates."

Galibrath was always one of the most passionate players on the ice and even though he was only 5'10 and south of 200 lbs. he never back down from anyone.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Galibrath family.
