While Cliff’s life and career were so closely connected to hockey, he always loved music.

He often talked, and laughed, about his antics as a choir boy when he was young, and music remained a part of his life. At home, if there wasn’t a game on television, there was a good chance the house was filled with music.

In Cliff’s memory, donations will support school music programs across Canada, helping ensure that children have access to the instruments, resources and opportunities they need to experience the joy of music.

We can think of no better way to honour this part of Cliff’s life than by helping give more kids the opportunity to discover a love of music of their own.
