MEMORIAL FOR BOBBY AND JERRY THOMS
1979-2015
Bobby and Jerry were two brothers from Carbonear who had a tragic accident on Labrador while fishing in the summer of 1979. Both boys were fishing with their father when they went overboard into the waters surrounding Labrador. This tragic accident happened on August 11, 1979. Both brothers were players with CBN minor hockey (it was called at that time). Bobby was 11 years old and Gerry was 13. They shared the ice with teammates and loved the sport. Gerry guarded the net as goalie and his younger brother Bobby was a defenceman. This year marks the 36th anniversary of that tragic accident. CEE BEES minor Hockey plays memory to our two Peewee boys and are honored to have the PEE WEE tournament in their memory. Bobby would have been 47 this year and Gerry 49. “It only seems like yesterday” words from his mother.
