Message-ID: 

I am very sorry report the death of Brenda Richard (age 27) who played
for Team Canada at the 1990 World Championships (in Ottawa).

I don't know too many details about this misfortune.  I just know that
she was promoting women's hockey for the OWHA (Ontario Women's Hockey
Association) at a hockey camp in Northern Ontario.  She suddenly became
very sick and they had to take her to the hospital.  She and the 3 month
old child which she was carrying passed away within a day.  She apparently
had some kind of a brain virus, but they'll know better after the autopsy
has been confirmed.  It's very sad, as she leaves behind a husband and
a young child.

Three women on my hockey team went to her funeral.  It was very emotional
for everyone because she really was a great person.  She was buried
wearing her Team Canada shirt and with her gold medal around her neck.
