It is with profound sadness that the Surrey Eagles announce the sudden passing of Nick Johnston, known by so many as ‘Big Nick.’
Nick was a cherished member of the Surrey Eagles family and, to many, the heart and soul of the Surrey Eagles. His impact extended far beyond the rink. His unwavering dedication, generous spirit, and larger-than-life personality touched countless players, coaches, staff, volunteers, and fans throughout the years. Whether offering support, sharing a laugh, or lending a helping hand, Nick made everyone around him feel valued and welcomed.
The loss of Big Nick leaves a void that cannot be filled, but his legacy will live on through the countless lives he influenced and the memories he helped create within our organization and community.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Nick’s family, friends, and all those mourning this heartbreaking loss. We are grateful for the time we shared with him and for the lasting mark he leaves on the Surrey Eagles.
Rest easy, Big Nick. You will always be a part of the Surrey Eagles family and will never be forgotten.

I am officially done with my cancer treatments! It’s been a long and scary road but I’m proud to say I have prevailed. Words can not describe how grateful I am for the endless support I have received. Couldn’t do it without you all. #DeFriestStrong#laoch
