PHOTO: Lynnfield Lost One Of Its Own On 9/11/01

Garnet "Ace" Bailey was a former professional hockey player and Lynnfield resident who was killed during the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. He died when United Airlines Flight 175 was flown into the World Trade Center in New York City that morning.

Bailey played all or part of five seasons for the Boston Bruins, between 1968 and 1973. In a hockey career that spanned nearly two decades, he also played for the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Detroit Red Wings, and Washington Capitals.

At the time of his death, Bailey was director of scouting for the Los Angeles Kings. As a Bruins player, he was part of two Stanley Cup champion teams. It's only fitting that as the nation marks the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, Bailey's former team is once again the Stanley Cup champion.

Since his death, Bailey's memory has been kept alive in part by the Ace Bailey Children's Foundation, which focuses on improving the well-being of hospitalized children. Bailey's widow, Kathy, is expected to speak at Lynnfield's 9/11 memorial event at around 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 11th, 2011.

Lynnfield lost one of its own that day, but the town is taking steps to ensure that all victims are remembered on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. A flag will be placed on the town common for every victim of September 11th, and volunteers will devote part of the anniversary day to reading each of their names aloud.
