Hockey legend's daughter swept off ship
Dec. 10, 2006. 10:46 AM
HALIFAX (CP) — The Montreal Canadiens hockey club has confirmed that the woman swept off a Nova Scotia tall ship is the daughter of the club’s executive vice president, Bob Gainey.
Laura Gainey, 25, was washed off a deck at the back of the vessel in a storm at 9:30 p.m. Friday.
A search is continuing this morning.
Dan Moreland, the senior captain of the Picton Castle, says she is a volunteer on the vessel who is known to be very fit, and is “a well loved crew member.”
Meanwhile, the U.S. coast guard says the search for the woman is in a crucial stage this morning.
Spokeswoman Faith Wisinski says aircraft resumed searching at first light and a U.S. coast guard vessel has searched through the night for Gainey.
However, she says that as of 9 a.m. this morning, Gainey has been in the water 30 hours.
Wisinski says the water is warm in the area, but it’s expected hypothermia would normally take a person’s life after 36 hours.
Gainey isn’t wearing a life-jacket.

RE: Bob Gainey's daughter swept of ship.
This is truley sad. They suspended the search for her last night. Gainey handed over his duties as a GM to Gauthier for the time being as he is dealing with his loss.
It's so sad this happend, especially at this time of year.

It's just tragic to lose someone you love and not even know what happened to them or where they are. I can only imagine what the Gainey family is going through right now. Hopefully they can find some peace in their time of need. We will continue to keep you guys in our thoughts and prayers.
