One of those forever friends who would do anything for you at any time, for any reason. Leonard was so inquisitive, so determined, a great listener, a solid family man, just an amazing character.

Our sincerely sympathies are extended to all of you, but mostly the love of his life…April.

I am very sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. My condolences to your family.
Biggest hugs and sympathies to the whole family. I grew up in the Hatland house and have so many wonderful memories of Mr. Hatland, both as my friend’s Dad and a coach. He raised a beautiful family and I see his spirit shining through Carrie every time I speak with her. May his spirit continue to shine through them.
Penny,
I appreciate everybody’s condolences, but yours holds a special place in my heart. You’re one of my oldest friends. You show up. That means everything at a time like this.
All my love.
Sad to hear this. We haven’t seen you’s for a very long time, but we send our deepest sympathies to you April and the family. Take care.
So sorry to read of Leonard’s passing. Many good memories from our youth. Our thoughts and prayers go to all the family.
Coach Len was the guy that really took ringette to heart and pushed our crew to the best that we could be. We didn’t win every game, but we sure had fun trying. He was a kind soul who always saw our potential, he let us have fun (usually loud) while showing us the nuances of the sport. As a young goalie, he took me under his wing, always making time for me in practice to tailor and refine my skill, while always reminding me off of the ice what it took to be a good team player. He influenced me to be the coach I am today more than anyone else I know. I always knew 2 things about Coach Len; he loved and adored his children and he was hardworking and passionate about what was important to him. He was a great coach, father and friend. My sincere condolences to you April, Carrie, Lane and family.
Our deepest sympathies April and family
We are very sorry for your loss of Leonard. He will be deeply missed by all who knew & loved him. May you find peace, joy, and comfort in knowing we are remembering with love & prayers.
Dear April, Carrie and Family
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Leonard was an amazing man. He will be missed.
Dear April, Carrie and Lane,
We just learned of Leonard’s passing. We are so very sorry. We pray that God blesses you with that peace that passes understanding. I have very fond memories of our Ringette years together and Leonard taking over the Bunnies from us. I really enjoyed our interaction. Carrie and Lane…he always showed so much caring and support of you at parent visitation days, and always showed up for them. We are so sorry he is gone.
Dear April,Carrie,and Lane:
I just learned of Leonard’s passing. I am very sorry for your loss. I went to school with Leonard, and we had some goods times back then. Then life took us all on our own different journey’s. Sounds like his was pretty good. May God give you comfort at this time and in the days to come.
Just heard of Leonard’s passing. So very sorry that I was not able to reconnect with him upon my return to Manitoba. Rest in peace Leonard. Condolences to his family.
