Goodbye Red
Hall of Fame referee Red Story passed away Wednesday at the age of 88.
”Red Storey brought passion, dedication and enthusiasm to each and every game as an NHL referee,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. ”Long after his retirement as an on-ice official, he continued to serve as one of the truly great ambassadors for the game in his travels around North America officiating charitable games.
”On behalf of the NHL family, we extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Bunny and sons Bob and Doug.”
