Tragic death to former Vancouver minor hockey president as a tree fell on their house

Mike Sharp and his wife were killed in the most bizarre way on Saturday night in their home in Horseshoe as a tree fell onto their home and tragically killed them.

Mike Sharp spent 12 years with the West Vancouver Minor Hockey Association, retiring as president in 2015.

"He had a deep love for the game of hockey and was selfless with his time and a true gentleman," said Tom Oberti, current president of the WVMHA.

"The minor hockey community is close-knit and driven by volunteers like Mike, and his passing has touched many of us deeply."

"This appears to be a tragic accident," said Const. Kevin Goodmurphy with the West Vancouver Police.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends. Rest In Peace!
