NHLer Troy Stecher, who knew Sawada in the Richmond community, shared this touching statement:
Heart breaking news. Ray was an idol for a lot of Richmond Minor Players growing up. Not only was Ray a successful hockey player, he was a community hero and local firefighter. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
A great man taken too soon.
The team here at HockeyPatrol wishes the best to his family and friends in this time of mourning.
