Dear Chebucto, 

It is with extremely heavy hearts Chebucto shares the loss of a cherished Coach; Graham Gilbert, who lost his courageous battle with cancer this past Sunday.

Graham has been a dedicated coach at Chebucto for the past 6 years, coaching U7-U11 and multiple divisions at once, including the current season with the U11B team and U7 Group 1. As a Chebucto Alumni himself, the rink held a special spot in Graham’s heart, he thoroughly enjoyed coaching the future generations of athletes and his efforts were appreciated tenfold.

During this time, Coach Graham touched many hearts, he was a truly remarkable man, always sharing a smile and supportive encouragement. He will be truly missed. CMHA Board of Directors, Volunteers and Membership would like to extend deepest condolences to Graham’s wife and 3 children, extended family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time and into the future. 

Full obituary below, as is the link to the go fund me page, organized in Graham’s honour to support Chebucto.
