Eddy Palchak, former longtime Montreal Canadiens trainer and equipment manager, passed away on November 16 at the age of 71 following a long illness. His funeral service was held today in Dorval, Quebec. Carbo was at the service, sharing a pew with fellow Habs alumni Guy Lafleur, Yvan Cournoyer, and Rick Green. With a sly grin, he said of Palchak's time with Les Glorieux:
“There was a lot of history in the old skate-sharpening room at the Forum. If those walls could talk, they’d have told good stories and bad stories.”
Palchak was not only a trainer and equipment man, he was a member of the Habs family who left a great impact on those who went on to become legends. (Montreal Gazette)
