Hockey Elliott: NHL executive Chris Snow displays remarkable resiliency despite onset of ALS Calgary Flames executive Chris Snow was given six to 18 months to live when diagnosed with ALS a year ago. The resulting loss of oxygen to his brain was catastrophic, according to his wife, Kelsie Snow, a gifted writer who was a Times summer intern in 2004 and has eloquently shared the family’s experiences on her blog, Kelsie Snow Writes, and her searingly honest podcast, “Sorry, I’m Sad.” Doctors confirmed he would not wake up, and he was kept alive long enough to arrange organ donations. “Today we hugged Chris for the last time and said goodbye as he went to give four people the gift of life by donating his kidneys, liver and lungs,” Kelsie Snow wrote Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
