Geno Romanow Legacy Fund Try refreshing your browser. New funds in name of important locals at CFPD Back to video A new fund established at the Community Foundation of Portage & District in memory of Geno Romanow, long time Equipment Manager of the Portage Terriers, is being announced today to mark the 1-year anniversary of his passing on May 8th. And although not a lot of hockey has been played over the past year due to the pandemic, the loss of Geno Romanow is still felt deeply by many. Geno Romanow fell in love with hockey and the Portage Terriers during the 1973/74 Centennial Cup Championship season. The following year, he joined the Portage Terriers Junior A Board and the Junior B Terriers, where he quickly picked up the skills of being an equipment manager. Geno could never remember exactly what year he moved up to the Junior A’s. For 40+ seasons he crafted his skill of skate sharpening, knowledge of all hockey equipment and became a friend to every player, coach and fan of the team.
