The Everett Silvertips are mourning the loss of former goaltender David Reekie, whose passing has deeply saddened the entire Silvertips community and the Western Hockey League family.
Reekie, remembered for his calm presence in net and unwavering commitment to his teammates, was an integral part of the 2006–07 Silvertips, a season that remains one of the most memorable in franchise history. That year, Everett captured the Scotty Munro Trophy as the WHL’s regular-season champions. Reekie played a pivotal role in that success, recording 20 wins, an impressive .925 save percentage, and a 1.77 goals-against average, statistics that underscored both his talent and work ethic.
Beyond the numbers, Reekie was cherished for his positive spirit, humility, and love of the game. Teammates and coaches alike remember him as a steady presence in the locker room and a fierce competitor on the ice—someone who embodied what it meant to be a Silvertip.
“The Everett Silvertips are deeply saddened to learn of David’s passing,” the organization said in a statement. “We extend our sincerest condolences to the Reekie family and celebrate the life of a wonderful Silvertip and a true hockey lifer.”
As fans and former teammates reflect on his legacy, Reekie’s contributions to Everett hockey—and to the sport he loved—will not be forgotten. His time in the crease left an indelible mark on the Silvertips community, one that will be honored with heavy hearts and lasting gratitude.
💚 Rest in peace, David Reekie — forever a Silvertip.
