Greater Boston Youth Hockey League President Paul McLaughlin Pass Away

Boston Ma.-- Press Release The hockey community has lost a legend. Paul McLaughlin was one of the greatest, giving and humble volunteers I have had the honor and pleasure to work with. He devoted all his waking hours to both Ice Hockey & the Little League.

During the Civil War, the Confederate Secretary of War was asked "where is your office". He emptied his pockets and stated "here is my office". That was Paul! He carried his office in his brief case and his heart on his sleeve.

I will miss Paul, as will countless others. He gave us his last full measure and I applaud his virtue.
If there is a heaven, then Paul has a free pass for all the children, our children he has served and helped. Many of the children will never hear his name, or know who he was, but he has touched so many of their lives and they have prospered because of it.
