Lee Odelein (1967-2017)
« on: Thursday 02 February 17 14:42 GMT (UK) »
A bit of a private request for any information?

I was informed today of the death of Lee Odelein, formerly player-coach of Bristol Bulldogs Ice Hockey team in the UK.

Lee was from Quill Lake, Saskatchewan; and was one of 3 brothers who played professional hockey.
Selmar was a draft pick for Edmonton Oilers, and Lyle played for Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils.

I was hoping for some news re Lee's death; so that I can pass it on to fellow Bristol fans.

If anyone spots anything in the Canadian Press, I would be grateful to hear.

RIP Lee. :(

There are postings on his Facebook page -- guess he was living in Honduras at the time.

Thank you.
There's a rather poignant post, on his FB page, from 1st November, which implies he had been very ill.
