Wayne Static of Static-X. They were a crap band but I keep hearing about him dying so I figured I might as well post it.

Static x used to kickass. And he was a proper gearhead. RIP Wayne.

Clint Reif; Chicago Blackhawks AEQM.

Clint was the AEQM with IHL Orlando when I met him. He was the EQM with ACHL Orlando 2 years later and offered me the assistant spot, which I didn't take.

I JUST saw the "CR" on the Hawks helmets about 2 minutes ago and wondered what it was. Thanks.

Wow, I just read the story on the Leafs/Chicago game on TSN and they mentioned the passing of Clint Reif. I didn't realize he was only 34. It's sad when anyone passes away, but I assumed that he was a much older equipment manager before I read that story. He was younger than some of the players. That's a real shame. RIP.

[JR Boucicaut 3816]

Yep. I was 23 when I first met Clint. He wasn't legal to drink at that point.

He started as a stick boy for Fort Wayne in the IHL then got his break there, went to Orlando twice (won championships for both teams) then took a break, went to Chicago AHL then the Hawks.
