Chris Snow, the assistant general manager of the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, died on September 30, 2023, in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 42. He had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2019, a progressive nervous system disease affecting brain cells and the spinal cord, and causes a loss of muscle control. Snow became a prominent advocate for victims of the disease and continued to work as an assistant general manager for the Flames to the best of his ability every day. Snows wife, Kelsie Snow, announced his death on Saturday night in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. She added that doctors did not expect him to wake up after he became “unresponsive” and had gone into cardiac arrest, which caused a catastrophic brain injury. Snows death comes less than a week since his wife Kelsie announced that he had become “unresponsive” . The Snows’ willingness to share the trials and triumphs of Chris’s lengthy ALS journey has inspired so many and profoundly increased awareness of the need to find a cure for this debilitating disease.
