It is with a heavy heart that we remember long time player and friend Rob Sneath, who passed away November 27^th. Rob played 8 seasons with the Secunda Mariners from 2008 to 2016 and was well respected by teammates and opponents. He was the Lake City Cup Playoff MVP in 2009 and 2014 helping the Mariners win the Lake City Cup Championships.
RIP Rob.
Attached is Rob’s Obituary    

SNEATH, Robert “Rob” Alan
It is with indescribable sadness that we the family of Rob Sneath of Dartmouth wish to announce his passing on November 27, 2017 at the age of 52. Rob was born in Brantford, Ontario on November 18, 1965, the middle child of Hap and Artie Sneath. Growing up within an athletic family, Rob played all sports, excelling however in Canada’s sport, hockey. Rob left home at 18 to join the military and beyond the various jobs he held in his 24 years of service, including Boatswain, Peri, and ACS Tech, it was the sporting opportunities provided by the military that Rob cherished. He played at a caliber matched by few others, with particular highlights being many national championships, a try out for the Philadelphia Flyers at the age of 27, followed by Team Canada two years later, and culminating just last month in him being inducted into the Canadian Military Sports Hall of Fame for hockey. Rob’s humble and unassuming nature made him a natural leader both on and off the ice. 
Although Rob described his happy place as the rink, there was no game he would put before his family. Rob was the epitome of father, being a single dad for many years to his daughter Ally and later expanding his family to include his son Robbie and daughter Carlee. Whether it was doing girlie things like painting nails or doing hair, or coaching Robbie on the ice, or talking incessantly about their shared love of sports, Rob was always present and available to his children. He cherished calls from Ally from out West and would never turn down a board game with Carlee or watching Sports Desk with Robbie. More recently, Rob found the love of his life, Kerri (L’Esperance) and welcomed her children James and Marlee (Fougere) into the brood, relishing in their pastimes with comparable vigour. Together, Rob and Kerri formed the most amazing blended family, with lots of laughter, as well as the typical challenges that come with four teenagers in the house. The memories that were formed by “Team Fun” will live on in the hearts of Kerri and the kids forever. 
Rob also leaves behind to cherish amazing memories, his parents Hap and Artie (Brantford Ontario), brother, Frank (Diane) (Brantford Ontario), sister and best friend, Barb and her husband Ross (Eastern Passage), as well as six nieces and nephews who all meant the world to Rob. He also has a large extended “family” in the many hockey teammates that he has played with over the years, as well as many other friends, work colleagues from his time in the military, and later with PSP, and the countless youth that he has impacted as a coach. Rob’s passing will have a profound effect on so many, not the least of which is his faithful, canine companion, Starly, who has been by his side throughout his entire journey with Melanoma over the last two years. 
As we reflect on the life of a man who gave so much to others, take the opportunity to make someone else’s day just a little bit brighter, love unconditionally, and endorse Rob’s personal motto, “Simple Pleasures....Bigger Life.” 
A celebration of Rob’s life will be held at 2pm, Saturday, December 1, 2017 at the Shearwater Fitness & Sports Centre. Following the ceremony, feel free to bring a dish to share in a potluck.
