It is with a heavy hearty I report the passing of Former Scorpions Team Captain, Rob Guinn. I received the following in an email last evening and checked as many sources as possible for accuracy before posting this email.
Rob Guinn, a defenseman with the Fort Wayne Komets from 2004 to 2006, has died according to sources.
Guinn, 32, died in a car accident, confirmed Kevin St. Pierre, whowas a teammate of Guinn's for two seasons in Fort Wayne and last seasonwith Tulsa of the Central Hockey League.
The circumstances of the accident, including where it happened, were unknown.
Guinn's internet page at Facebook.com included a message from hiswife, Brooke, reading: 'It is with great sadness that I let you know that Robert James Guinn passed away Saturday. He was a wonderful husband, father and friend and will truly be missed.
Guinn tallied 15 goals and 68 points in 156 games with Fort Wayne.He finished last season with Bloomington of the International HockeyLeague.
He was selected in the eighth round of the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, by the Edmonton Oilers.
The Des Moines Register < http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage > had a brief statement on Sunday and stated the paper would have more information on Monday.
Rob was a wonderful person on and off the ice, and I have one of his helemets, which is the center-piece of my collection...he will be greatly missed by a vast number of people he has touched.
May our thoughts and prayers go out to Rob's wife, Katie, 5-month old daughter Olivia , and the rest of his family.
