Remembering George Bourgeois
The Glace Bay Miners hockey family is saddened to learn the passing of George Bourgeois, on May 19, 2022, in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, at the age of 74.
“The impact that the Bourgeois family has had on GBMH is synonymous with the Fords, O’Neill’s and other prominent hockey families throughout the history of our town,” said Glace Bay Minor Hockey President James Edwards.
It seems there has always been a Bourgeois player, coach or official in Glace Bay hockey circles.
According to family George was a lover of sports, and grew up playing hockey. It was a lifetime activity he enjoyed right through to his 60s.
Our thoughts are with his wife, daughters, and the Bourgeois family.
