Calgary Flames assistant general manager Chris Snow died Saturday of a “catastrophic brain injury” after suffering cardiac arrest earlier this week, his wife said.
He was 42.
“Today we hugged Chris for the last time and said goodbye as he went to give four people the gift of life by donating his kidneys, liver and lungs,” Kelsie Snow posted on X. “We are deeply broken and deeply proud. In life and in death, Chris never stopped giving. We walk forward with his light guiding us.”
Snow, who had battled ALS since 2019, was on life support following the cardiac arrest.
Before Friday’s Flames’ preseason game, he was honored with a video tribute.
Snow joined the organization in 2011 and worked his way up the ladder to assistant GM.
Before joining the Flames, Snow was director of hockey operations for the Minnesota Wild from 2006-10.
