VANCOUVER — The coach of a Vancouver peewee hockey team has successfully ended his search for a life-saving organ donor.

However, Stephen Gillis said his drive to build organ donor awareness is just beginning.

“My purpose now has to be to help others,” said Gillis in an interview Monday.

Gillis learned last week his former work colleague Michael Teigen was a match and would be donating one of his kidneys. Teigen saw a viral video posted by young members of the Spirit hockey team asking for help for their ailing coach.
