Fourteen years ago on September 11th, thousands of people, including former Washington Capitals forward Garnet Bailey lost their lives in a series of attacks. The former Washington Capitals forward was aboard Flight 175, which was the second of the two planes that crashed into the World Trade Center. As we remember September 11th, let’s remember just one of its 2,996 victims.
Garnet “Ace” Bailey had a ten-year NHL career. He was drafted in the third round of the 1966 NHL Entry Draft by the Boston Bruins. In five seasons with the Bruins, Bailey played in 232 games. He had 77 points (31 goals and 46 assists) and 283 penalty minutes.
