"Chris Snow, Inspirational Hockey Executive, Succumbs to A.L.S. at 42"

Chris Snow, the assistant general manager of the Calgary Flames, has passed away at the age of 42 after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (A.L.S.), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Despite being given a year to live, Snow and his wife used their time to document life with the disease and became advocates for other patients, raising funds for research and promoting awareness. Snow's condition worsened over time, but he continued to make public appearances and remained optimistic. He leaves behind his wife, two children, and a legacy of advocacy for A.L.S. patients.
