The person nicknamed Sluggo has received an award named after the individual he impressed.

Former College of Lethbridge Pronghorns girls’s rugby coach Ric Suggitt was honoured posthumously with the Logan Boulet Award in recognition of a selfless act that helped save lives.

Suggitt was acknowledged nationally Nov. 29 at an annual occasion in Ottawa hosted by Canadian Blood Providers.

“I don’t assume I used to be anticipating an award like this,” stated Suggitt’s spouse, Jennifer. “Simply because it’s the Logan Boulet Award and that we’ve got an in depth relationship with the Boulet household, it simply makes it extra significant.”

In late June 2017, Suggitt suffered a mind hemorrhage which took his life. Earlier than he handed, he made a crucial choice to donate his organs.

His choice impressed Logan to additionally signal his organ donation card.

In April of 2018, Logan was considered one of 16 individuals killed within the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, however his choice to turn into an organ donor impressed lots of of 1000’s of Canadians to signal their organ donor playing cards, creating the Logan Boulet Impact.

Suggitt and his household moved to Lethbridge to educate the Horns girls’s rugby crew after teaching nationwide groups in Canada and america.

There, he reconnected his friendship with Toby Boulet – Logan’s father – who was the college’s rugby crew supervisor, and have become Logan’s coach shortly after.

“We lived right here for possibly 19 months when Ric handed away. Ric was buddies with Toby, simply due to the Alberta rugby neighborhood,” stated Jennifer “When Logan got here again from hockey that spring, they have been searching for a private coach, Logan and some of his buddies, and Ric was more than pleased to try this. He simply preferred the work ethic of Logan and these boys.”

Suggitt would begin his day mapping out his exercise plans for Logan and his buddies, stated Jennifer.

“We’d stand up within the morning and make some espresso and Ric could be on his pc saying ‘I’m going to make the boys do that in the present day.’ However I believe they cherished it they usually labored laborious,” she stated. “Ric was all the time a gregarious, bigger-than-life form of man, particularly when he was teaching, and really inspirational in some ways. I believe he actually preferred the teaching side of his job, however (additionally) additionally asking his athletes to present again to the neighborhood, which was additionally an enormous a part of Logan’s upbringing. They only labored nicely collectively.”

Logan’s mom, Bernadine, stated the household was touched to see Suggitt win the award named after their son.

“Logan was impressed by Ric and the very fact Ric and Jen determined Ric could be an angel donor,” she stated. “That’s what actually impressed Logan and if that hadn’t occurred, Logan most likely nonetheless would have been an organ donor, nevertheless it simply occurred sooner. He was 20-years-old when Ric handed away and he was impacted by Ric and Ric’s choice. The truth that Canadian Blood Providers has chosen to acknowledge Ric is essential as a result of he and Jen and the household is the place it began and if it hadn’t been for that, we might not have what we’ve got in the present day with organ donation.”

Bernadine recalled the exercise routine Suggitt put Logan and his buddies by way of.

“One week it could be Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the subsequent week it could possibly be Tuesday and Thursday. He would have them do every kind of loopy issues,” she stated, recalling some grueling runs within the coulees when it was moist. “They have been working on the grass and the mud they usually have been sliding and have been on their bellies. For these youngsters who had educated with trainers earlier than, it was completely totally different. Ric was developing with every kind of loopy issues.”

That included exercises on the U of L pool that really grew to become a supply of amusement for others who occurred to be pool-side.

“Ric would use the life-saving dummies that the lifesaving applications could be utilizing. So the boys needed to swim these out,” stated Bernadine. “It bought to the purpose the place if Ric was going to take the boys into the pool it grew to become a spectacle the place different individuals in athletics would need to go and watch.”

Bernadine stated the connection Suggitt established with Logan and his buddies went past the summer season months they educated.

“It could be to the purpose the place Ric would ship them little issues to work on, not solely a power and conditioning individual, however he additionally labored with their psychological well being and when issues weren’t going nicely,” she stated. “They’d a relationship that was enjoyable and he labored them laborious and I believe Logan all the time appreciated that. (Coaching) was all the time one thing totally different, thrilling, attention-grabbing and difficult.”

Together with her husband and Logan’s actions, Jennifer stated she’s hopeful the phrase in regards to the significance of turning into an organ donor and having that all-important chat with one’s household is reaching individuals.

“I actually hope so, as a result of what the children the children and I took away from donating Ric’s organs, we bought as much as the ICU and dealing with the organ donations crew on the Foothills Hospital, an exquisite group of individuals, and I simply anticipated there could be a line of individuals donating their organs. That is what was occurring in my head they usually have been saying ‘Actually, 4 is a extremely good month for us and one a mean month.’ I used to be actually shocked by that.”

Suggitt’s actions, nonetheless, reached these Pronghorns he coached along with Logan.

“When he handed, we weren’t outspoken that Ric’s organs have been donated, however we made that assertion,” she stated. “We selected to donate Ric’s organs and that had an influence on his gamers and his crew and I believe they took it upon themselves to take a look at different ways in which dwelling donors might help. Folks simply took it upon themselves to do extra.”

In the summertime of 2017 shortly after Suggitt’s passing, Logan spoke along with his father about his intentions to observe in his coach’s footsteps and turn into an organ donor.

“We most likely would have nonetheless executed that down the road, however possibly not when he did,” stated Bernadine. “It was Ric who could be that first rock into the water that set these ripples. So the dialog Logan and Toby had and the dialog Logan had along with his billet brother about being an organ donor makes a distinction as a result of that’s one of many massive issues we all the time speak about, having that dialog with one another.”

Suggitt’s inspiration continues in considered one of his former athletes, Horns rugby participant Keegan Brantner, who’s a daily plasma donor.

“She’s introduced that to the Horns to try this,” stated Bernadine. “That has turn into the legacy and one thing that they do. There can be individuals who received’t be a lot impressed by Ric, however the legacy can be there as a result of they know that’s what they do. Keegan began it due to Ric. Different individuals might not know that, however they know the Pronghorns girls’s rugby crew does this. They go and donate plasma.

“I believe all of us hope we encourage individuals to try this and we by no means know a lot what our legacy is or how we’ve impressed individuals. It could possibly be years later.”
