February 3, 2014 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Port Huron Fighting Falcons News Release
It is with incredible sadness that we inform you that Assistant Coach Scott Nichols has passed away this afternoon. Scott was an amazing friend to everyone in the Fighting Falcons organization throughout our brief history. A devoted husband and father, Scott touched the lives of countless members of the hockey community in the Blue Water Area.
There could be no greater understatement than to say that he will be greatly, greatly missed throughout the area. We play this weekend with heavy hearts and ask that you continue to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers through this unimaginably difficult time.
Funeral services for Scott will take place Thursday, February 6 at 1 p.m. at the McMorran Auditorium. Visiting hours are Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Jowett Funeral Home at 1634 Lapeer Avenue. There will also be a visitation from 11 a.m. until the beginning of the service at McMorran on Thursday.
The Fighting Falcons will collect donations for the Nichols family throughout the rest of the 2013-14 season. They will also alter the "Jackpot Friday" promotion at their next home game on February 14, making a donation of $1 per person at the game rather than holding a drawing. The team will work with any group throughout the area who would like to honor Scott at a Fighting Falcons home game. For more information, call the front office at (810) 966-3800.
