Flames AGM Tragically Passes Away

"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. We are deeply broken and deeply proud. In life and in death, Chris never stopped giving. We walk forward with his light guiding us.

«Through his journey, Chris became a true inspiration for all who knew him and an incredible advocate for everyone affected by ALS,» Conroy said. «We will never replace a person like Chris. We simply pay tribute to him by moving forward with the same passion that he brought to his life each day.»

"An innovative student of our game with an expertise in data analysis, Chris supervised the creation and build out of the Flames' analytics department and was influential in all facets of the Club's Hockey Operations decision-making,» Bettman said. «First and foremost, however, he was a beloved husband to Kelsie, a devoted dad to Cohen and Willa, and a friend to everyone in hockey fortunate enough to have met him. The Snows' willingness to share the trials and triumphs of Chris's lengthy ALS journey has inspired so many and profoundly increased awareness of the need to find a cure for this debilitating disease.»

«‘Snowy' was a true example of strength, courage, grit and compassion,» Treliving said. «He was a cherished friend who deeply impacted our lives. Chris inspired us all as he faced his relentless battle with ALS head on, refusing to let it define him or derail his spirit.»
