 Dave McMaster has had an
incredible history in women's hockey. He was a pioneer and very
special friend to so many female hockey players. He coached Team
Canada in 1990, coached many years for the University of Toronto
Lady Blues and Leaside Girls Hockey Association. We have all lost
a very treasured friend, but his legacy will live on in the lives
of all those who had the honour of knowing this wonderful individual.
Honouring Our Friend
We have received so very many calls from Dave’s friends and
colleagues – about the man who was giving, caring and kind
– about the man who always had a smile and a warm word of encouragement.
Everyone wants to do something for Dave to let him know how much
he was appreciated and loved and to let him know his life has left
an everlasting legacy for female hockey.
We believe there is something we can all do for Dave. He would
be the happiest person in the world if he knew that each and every
one of his friends in women’s hockey continued to lead this
world in a special way. He loved the game and the people in it.
He always found the positive and said something about it. He found
the strengths in a team and in its players who are people first
and athletes second. He loved his teams and the opposing teams.
There was no opposition, just team-mates wearing different coloured
jerseys and serving different roles as team staff, officials, volunteers
or fans. All were members of Dave’s team.
He was always there to help and to support. We will miss this physical
presence, but we need not miss the lessons he taught us. What would
make Dave happy today? If every one of Dave’s friends followed
his example and paid someone a compliment, even once a day, think
of how they would feel – both the giver and the receiver. We
encourage you to take the time in hockey and in your daily life
to find something positive in something or someone and tell somebody
about it.
Dave will remain forever in the hearts of those who were fortunate
enough to know him. It is up to each of us to carry his message
so others can continue to benefit from his wonderful lessons.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
