In memoriam: Gary Moran

Panthers GM passes away

Everyone connected with the Elite Ice Hockey League is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gary Moran.

Gary's passion and dedication to ice hockey saw him involved with the sport for more than 40 years. He will be terribly missed both at the Nottingham Panthers and as a member of the league's board.

Chairman Neil Black spoke on behalf of the Panthers: "Gary, GM the GM, was the pulse of the Panthers for over 25 years, a real legend whose contribution to all things black & gold was truly incredible.

"We will all miss him enormously & our thoughts and condolences go out to Audrey, Jo, Paul & Stef and all of their family at this very sad time."

The Panthers will pay tribute to Gary before today's game against Sheffield.

We'd like to pass on our condolences and thoughts to his family at this very sad time.

Thank you for everything you gave our sport Gary.
