I played hockey for Mr Russell (with Barry as Assistant Coach) from 1975-1979. Mr Russell's knowledge of how to play hockey as a team and how to conduct oneself as a young man, is something i have carried my whole life. I know he dedicated himself to his family and many young athletes. The Winnipeg and Manitoba hockey community was blessed to have him as a coach and mentor to so many of us. My condolencses to Mrs Russell, Robyn, Ray, Barry and the extended family. A Great Man who lived a full life. - Posted by: Craig Downs (Player for Mr. Russell) on: Jan 16, 2018
