Support for Coach Cliff Gillman's Family

Dear Friends, Family, and the Hockey Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we share the tragic loss of Coach Cliff Gillman, who passed away unexpectedly on Thursday night.

Known to his players as "Coach French Fry," Cliff was not just a coach--he was a mentor, a role model, and a beloved figure in our hockey family. For so many of our kids, Cliff was one of the first voices they heard on the ice. From Learn to Skate to travel, he was there teaching them and pushing them to be their best. And while he had high expectations on the ice, he was a lovable jokester in the locker room afterwards.

More than anything, Cliff was a devoted husband to Destiny and a loving father to Tyler and Maddie. His sudden passing has left his famiy facing an unimaginable loss, and we want to rally together to support them during this difficult time.

We are raising funds to help Destiny and her children with immediate expenses, including:

  • Funeral and memorial costs
  • Household expenses and bills
  • Future support for Tyler and Maddie

Coach Cliff gave so much to our community, and was a true leader in every sense of the word. His impact reaches far beyond the rink, and his absence leaves a hole in all of our hearts.

If you are able to donate, any amount will help ease the burden on his loved ones. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to spread the word.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
