Strachan takes a rare break from studying after learning he was accepted into

A POWERFUL LEGACY
During his 30 years, Strachan left a powerful legacy of friendship, sport and

and commitment to others. Earning All-Star status in both leagues,
5-time Academic All-Canadian Honours, the Russ Jackson Award as the
