The Trail Smoke Eaters family is deeply saddened by the passing of Tiger Milburn, a true Trail hockey legend.

For more than 50 years, Tiger was the voice of hockey at Cominco Arena, bringing passion, professionalism and understated flair to every game, regardless of who was on the ice. From minor hockey to Junior A, international competition and the Allan Cup, he welcomed generations of players and fans to the rink — announcing names that included Montreal Canadiens legend Jean Béliveau, members of the Soviet national team and Team Canada.

Tiger was a volunteer, a friend, a storyteller and above all, someone who loved his community and its hockey. His iconic “Woo-hoo!” can still be heard throughout the arena on game nights, and his voice and legacy will continue to echo through Cominco Arena for years to come.

The entire Trail Smoke Eaters organization will miss his warm smile, friendly demeanor and unmistakable presence at the rink. A legendary volunteer and even better friend.

Rest in peace, Tiger.
