On behalf of all of us here at Pucks of a Feather, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of former Anaheim Ducks goaltender, Ray Emery. We honor his career here.

On Sunday, July 15, 2018, it was reported that former Anaheim Ducks goaltender, Ray Emery, had passed away in a tragic accident. Sunday morning, 35-year-old Emery started off his day swimming with friends. In a turn of misfortunate events, he never resurfaced after diving into Hamilton Harbour on Lake Ontario. After much effort, divers were able to recover his body later that afternoon close to where he was last seen.

It’s never easy to cope with a loss. Especially considering Emery still had a long life left ahead of him. Accidents do happen, and they show no partiality. In the wake of this horrible tragedy, we take some time to honor his memory.

Emery’s impact with the Ducks was not a long-lasting one. However, his passing still had a huge effect on his former teammates in Anaheim as well as Ducks Nation. Although Emery went on to play for Chicago after his short stint in Anaheim, once a Ducks player, you will always be remembered as a Ducks player.
