“Earl’s contributions to the #OHL cannot be overstated. He served on our Executive Council, rose to be Chairman of the Board, and received the prestigious Bill Long Award in 1989. He and Howard Darwin established @Ottawa67sHockey as a premier #CHL franchise." Commissioner Branch.
Condolences to the Montagano family and longtime members of the @Ottawa67sHockey family on the passing of Earl. He joined Howard Darwin as a 67's ownership partner in the mid-70's and they built one of the most successful and storied junior hockey franchises in the country.
So sorry to hear of the passing of former Ottawa 67's owner Earl Montagano. In my dealings with him over the years he was a gentleman in every sense of the word. Best story: Wanted to buy the St. Louis Blues and move them here to Ottawa.
Sorry to hear about the passing of Earl Montagano, former co-owner of the Ottawa 67s. IIRC, when Howard Darwin owned both the Ottawa 67s and London Knights, Earl oversaw the 67s while Darwin oversaw the Knights: https://t.co/RipJsC9vrP
@Ottawa67sHockey Bless his soul! My grandfather loved this hockey club so much and I’m so lucky to have the pleasure of him to bring us to every single game season after season. Your a legend in our books and we will continue your Legacy Grandpa Earl Montagano Rest In Peace
