November 2, 2025 at 5:46 pmCondolences to the family. Ed was a major inspiration to all for Clarenville area sports. Ed and Mose made many trips around the ice surface making sure the ice was just perfect. Many said it was the best in the province. RIP sir.

October 28, 2025 at 6:37 pmEd was an early tireless worker for Clarenville softball in the 60s. He always went far beyond his employment with the stadium. He and Mose Rodway worked in tandem to make the best ice possible before and after the Zamboni arrived. He was a huge supported to our 1974 Midget Caribous, making the stadium available to us for extra practice on every school storm day.
Sincere condolences to Ed’s family.

November 7, 2025 at 1:13 pmMy deepest condolences to the Kelly family. I, and countless others, owe a debt of gratitude to Ed and his kindness to us youngsters as we were growing up and spending many hours at the stadium. When we needed our skates sharpened or our sticks taped and we lacked the finances to do so, Ed always came through to save the day. He became the one constant in our fall, winter and spring routines. He was the one we could always count on to support us regardless of class. I used to tease Ed about his accent and call him a “Townee” but Ed was very quick to remind me that he was from “Topsail” . Although his passing is sad, his presence in Clarenville helped to foster the development of our legends and certainly our deep sports legacy. Ed——-you were a good one. May you Rest In Peace, now and forever.
