It is with great sadness that the CCIAC announce the sudden passing of our Coach, Player and great Friend Chris Thompson.
Our condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Anne, Erin, Claire and families at this sad time.
Chris has been a long time member of the Calgary Irish and a great ambassador to Rugby in Calgary, Alberta and Canada.
Further details on a celebration for Chris will follow.
RIP finally, my friend an thank you for all your contributions to the Irish.
I was so sorry to hear of Chris’s passing. Way to soon was my first thought. I will always remember him as a fantastic coach and an all around stand up individual. He will truly be missed.
I just found out about the passing of Chris Thompson. Not sure if a ceremony has already occurred but please let me know if one is scheduled. The Admiral was a wonderful man, and I will alway appreciate his warmth in welcoming me to the club.

Very sad news about Chris. Tireless worker at every level he coached at. I bet he is wearing his rugby boots in the afterlife.
