The Prince Albert Raiders announced on Tuesday evening that Ron Gunville, director of player personnel, died at the Victoria Hospital peacefully around friends and family.

“The best parts of my day were spent with Ron either in our office or on the phone,” Raiders general manager Curtis Hunt said in a team-issued statement. “We shared the same passion and vision to build an outstanding program from the ground up.”

Gunville joined his hometown Raiders in the 2013-14 season as the assistant director of player personnel, and was later promoted to director in the 2016-17 season. He replaced Dale Derkatch, who joined on with the Toronto Maple Leafs’ scouting staff.
