Summary
Charlie Goodwin, the beloved Spokane hockey legend who helped two Allan Cup-winning teams become the first American champions, passed away at 88 after a battle with lymphoma and dementia. A quiet but relentless scorer for the Spokane Jets in the 1969-70 and 1971-72 seasons, he also coached local junior teams and cherished his life with wife Judy — whom he met on a blind date in ’65 and married in ’66 — often whispering “I love you” even as his health declined. Born in Saskatchewan, Goodwin’s legacy lives on in Spokane’s hockey halls, where his championship grit and heart remain unforgettable.
