RIP Brian Power

[overedge]

Canadian coach and choreographer. My favourite program that he created was Kurt Browning's "Hindu war god" free skate. There are some very nice tributes from former students in the guestbook section of the online obituary:

That's so sad to hear!! The "Hindu War God" was quite conventional and original back then, Kurt used it for his SP in 92 and was the favourite for the Men's title in Albertville! and was a good program that matched Kurt's style of skating.

Condolences to his family and friends!

Kurt actually kept that particular original program for 2 seasons.

Brian was perhaps not as high profile as other mentors/coaches, but he was in fact just as influential to Kurt, Tracy Wilson among many others.
