In memoriam – PPC member & past co-president David Lord
February 1, 1944 - April 21, 2024
It is with great sadness we share news of the passing of longtime Power Play Club member & former two-term club co-president David Lord last Sunday, April 21, from complications related to cancer.
With his wife Cindi, Dave's contributions to the club and his support for Minnesota Women's Hockey since becoming a season ticket holder in 2002 are immeasurable. After taking time off from club leadership, Dave rejoined the PPC board in 2019 and served as a director-at-large the past five seasons.
We send our thoughts and prayers to Cindi, their daughter and son-in-law Bethany & Ross Pena, and their extended family.
A celebration of life will be held at Lake Harriet United Methodist Church in Minneapolis (4901 Chowen Avenue S) next Sunday, May 5, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Please consider wearing red or your favorite U. of M. gear in David's honor. A reception and refreshments will follow. The service can be viewed via livestream at lakeharrietumc.org/stream.
Memorials in Dave's honor can be made to the Power Play Club Fund at the U. or another charity of your choice. A full obituary can be found here.
GWH alumna Emily Brown nets first PWHL goal
We send a tardy but well-deserved shout-out to Gopher Women's Hockey alumna Emily Brown, who netted her first goal as a member of PWHL Boston on Wednesday, April 18, and was named the team's Player of the Game in their 2-1 victory at home over Toronto! (Photo courtesy of PWHL Boston)
With one game to go in the PWHL regular season for Boston, Brown has the one goal and 3 assists.
Congratulations, Emily!!
