RIP Brendan Flaherty

[Duluthguy]

Sadly, former Duluth Marshall coach Brendan Flaherty has died. He'd been diagnosed with cancer in 2018, and complications included a viral infection in his brain. He led Duluth Central to a state tournament in 1996 and then revived the Marshall program, taking them to 7 state tournaments, including three state runner-up finishes from 2006-2008. He also led Marshall back to Class AA.

More importantly he was a good dude. RIP, Coach.

Very sad day in the hockey community. My son that just graduated this year was his last varsity player that played for him before stepping down. He was a great coach and a great person that fought for all his players. He will be greatly missed.
