In Memory of Todd Davison

We lost a Canadian Hockey Alumni this morning at 2:11 a.m . Todd Davison was a remarkable young man who hoped to have a thriving career in the Western Hockey League and because of circumstances beyond his control was unable to pursue that aspiration. He ultimately continued the love of his game in the Alberta Junior Hockey League where he played a season with the Lloydminster Blazers. Unfortunately, after a diagnosis of Cancer in his shoulder he played his last Junior Hockey game in Fort McMurray Alberta on February 24, 2005. Not to be brought down by his rare and deadly cancer Todd fought a valiant battle, continuing his love of the game by assisting in the coaching of a AAA Midget Squad out of Winnipeg Manitoba.

His tremendous dedication to the game and his unwavering spirit during his battle will be remembered by many. This past summer, despite his ongoing battle with Cancer, he organized a fundraiser that was held in Selkirk which raised over $50,000 for Cancer research. (If you want to hear his last interview promoting his fundraiser it can be found at www.focusfitness.ca/podcast/index.htm. Look for "the lockeroom - davidson interview")

The Blazer/Bobcat organization and our hockey fraternity has lost a truly remarkable ambassador of not only the game but of life as well. Todd, if you only knew the inspiration you provided to your family and friends. I am at a loss,........ my prayers are with the Davison family. We will, as you always did, continue to BELIEVE!

Todd Davison, lost to us at the tender age of 20. You will always have a place in our hearts.
