"The Nottingham Panthers @panthersihc · 6m The Nottingham Panthers are today saddened to hear of the passing of Gary Moran.
After a short battle with illness Gary passed away early this morning & the thoughts of everyone at the organisation are with his family & friends at this incredibly tough time."
Always a sad event no matter what views you have. RIP

That was sudden. Thoughts are with his family. Hope there is a minutes applause this afternoon, and hoping those with a grievance can forget for one minute. RIP Gary

Holy moly, that was unexpected. Terrible news. Mr Panthers, effectively. Rest easy, Gary.

Rest in peace Gary. No matter what you thought of him personally he always put Panthers first.
Arguably he also saw the club through its most successful period on ice, certainly in the modern era.

Terrible news. Hope the club can do something at today's game. Thoughts with his family. Possibly want to do something a bit more involved and quite short notice for today

Regarding the speed of passing, this is often the case with cancer. A two edged sword, means that hopefully he didnt suffer too much. He also of course had had previous health problems, with regard to his heart. As others have said, thoughts are with his family.

True. I feel perhaps a minutes applause today followed by a well prepared and fitting tribute in an upcoming fixture.

Very sad to learn of Gary’s death.
A huge part of our club in different guises for 40 years. The club had a huge contribution from his dedicated, long service.
A sorry day for the club and Gary’s other family.

Blimey, wasn't expecting that at all. Quite a shock.
RIP GM, condolences to the Moran family.
Hope they have a moment's silence before today's game for him.

Absolutely devastating news, really shocked at how quickly this has come about. Gary undeniably loved the Panthers, he might have been a polarising character, but I’m sure everyone can appreciate his dedication to our club. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
RIP Gary.
A very, very sad day for our club.

As said, sudden and unexpected for us on the outside. A good banter or too with counter part Dave Simms over the years which both must have enjoyed. How ironic he leaves within these two games versus Sheffield.

It was Gary's funeral yesterday, I find it a little sad that the club didn't put up anything on either the site, or Twitter at least to acknowledge it and say a final farewell. Whatever he did to upset people he was Panthers through and through and put more than any of us would know into the running of the club.

It’s very disappointing that nothing was put out by at least the club. I’m worried about the state of the club at the minute, there seems to be no sense of direction, both on and off the ice.

It's always possible it was at the request of his family for the club not to mention it.

Considering the amount of time he was with the club their recognition of his death was woeful. Didn't even get a proper obituary on the OS. I'd say other clubs did him more proud than we did.
