A hockey coach from St. Albert passed away earlier this week after an accident.
Darin Wood, 35, was an assistant coach for the St. Albert U17AAA Flyers. He had a reputation in the hockey community, coaching minor hockey throughout the Edmonton region since 2014.
At the age of 17, Wood was paralyzed after a car accident, which ended his hockey career with the South Side Athletic Club.
Wood’s passing was announced in a Facebook post on January 10.
“We will post more information in the upcoming days as the family needs time to process the next steps,” wrote Wood’s brother Corey.
