Remembering Keith Garman

10/29/2022 at 5:59pm EDT

As a hockey fan, it's not often I think about all those who work behind the scenes for an NHL hockey club.

from Matt Porter of the Boston Globe,

Every morning, Jeremy Swayman would walk into the workplace kitchen and engage in a playful shouting match with the guy running it.

“Beauty!” the Bruins goalie would holler.

“Beauty!” Keith Garman would holler back, a bit louder and longer.

They would escalate, back and forth, until the bit sent them toward ridiculous laughter.

“Every morning, Chef would say, ‘How we livin’?’ ” Swayman said. “And I would find a new word. ‘Swimmingly.’ Something fun. That was our thing.”

The Bruins entered the weekend as the hottest team in the NHL (8-1-0), but their mornings have been a lot less fun without their beloved chef.

On Oct. 11, the day before the Bruins’ season opener, Garman was playing in a pickup hockey game when he felt discomfort, left the ice, and collapsed. He died at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton. He was 33.

Mr. Fnytelhatt

Aw, man. So it goes. Jesus Christ. Strenght to his family; that they may withstand this.
