The Pittsburgh hockey community is remembering an Oakdale father and youth coach who died in a violent crash this weekend.
Mike Fayad, 51, better known as Coach Mike, spent a lot of time on the ice. The hockey rink was like a second home to him.
RMU Island Sports Center Director of Hockey Blaine Buterbaugh had known Fayad for about 15 years.
When he was here he was always approachable. Always had a smile on his face, Buterbaugh said.
The husband and father of three volunteered as a coach with the Arctic Foxes Hockey Association, which skates out of the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center on Neville Island.
Buterbaugh said Fayad left a lasting impression on those who knew him.
He was a witty guy, he said. Some of the things I remember a lot about him is that all the teams he would put together in the summer all had fun, unique names. So he didn't take things too seriously.
Hockey was a game that Fayad loved.
He absolutely loved it, Buterbaugh said. They said he was here several times a night, not only with his own children, but also with the Steel City Icebergs, a special needs program.
The beloved coach tragically died in a car accident on October 25. Investigators said another car rear-ended him at a high rate of speed as Fayad waited to make a left turn from Route 19 in North Strabane.
Fayad's wife, who was a passenger in the car, was taken to hospital where she continues to recover.
Police told Channel 11 the crash is an active criminal investigation. They are asking any witnesses to call North Strabane Police.
A fundraiser by the Fayads hockey family shows that the couple was driving home after dinner when the accident happened.
It's just a devastating loss, not only for his family, but for the Pittsburgh hockey community, Buterbaugh said.
