tas Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 wow, rip jack mack. there was a time when I thought this guy would remain an assistant coach here until he decided not to be, regardless of what happened with the head coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SilentSam Posted July 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2020 Jack was always at his best.. whether it be in an orange uniform or a blue one. Im sure Quinn is waiting to mull over some great stories.. I was lucky enough to run into the man at the Kelowna airport about 7 years ago and thank him for some fantastic memories.. He laughed and said “ your ageing me”! i told him he was ageless and immortalized for his work and time in the NHL. On to bigger and better things Jack.. may this body rest,. And your soul fly into the next one. 4 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember watching Jack play and I can honestly second this comment. Perfect example of a guy you want to have on your team and not have to play against. Go Canucks Go!

YEGCanuck Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Loved Jack, one of my all-time favourite players. As tough as he was it seemed to make sense that he started his career in Philly. I had the pleasure of meeting Jack at the St. Paul Hotel in Minnesota when the Canucks were playing the Wild at the Excel Energy Center. He and Jim Hugheson were at the bar. I told Jack to lighten up and smile when he was on the bench.and he just laughed, thankfully. I mentioned I was a Canucks fan living in Edmonton and I recall he said his wife was from the suburb of Sherwood Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyHarry Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I remember Jack as an assistant Canuck coach in the Crawford era. Always seemed like a really good guy with a Badass presence. RIP Jack 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Wish the team gave him a chance as Head Coach. Players seemed to go through a brick wall for him. Which is the way he played. RIP Jack and sorry to all his friends and family. He will be missed. Seemed like a stand up guy. Edited July 21, 2020 by Ghostsof1915 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 One of the tough legends of the late 70s and definitely a notable name that's come up several times when reading about the earlier days of the Canucks. All the best to his family and friends. Even though he was getting on in years, 68 is still quite young to go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rizzuto&hatoum Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Oh man. So young still. While I remember him as a rough and tumble player, I had forgotten about him being an assistant coach. My original memory of him was as public enemy number one when he led some of his Flyers into the stands vs some fans at the Pacific Coliseum one year. Then we got him in a trade with Larry Goodenough. Probably the Bob Dailey trade. Back then, we had tough guys like Snepsts and McIllhargey on D. RIP Jack.
