Well tell him that if ever needs to talk he can count on you. Guys dont like talking about their feelings to other guys it makes them feel weird. Help him cope. Get his mind somewhere else. Maybe you could even try playing hockey with him.

Go up to him and say hi! Strike up a conversation. Open the line of communication. During the teen years especially it's hard for people to talk about how they're feeling or what's bothering them (especially guys) so you probably aren't going to get it out of him right away, but make it kind of known that you're there to chat. After saying hi and talking to him daily when you see him eventually he may start to open up about things, but it's going to probably come slowly and you may need to read between the lines somewhat. It may also help him "look at you in a different light" if you get my drift since you like him in a potential more then friends capacity, but if anything you may become good friends out of it.

If this guy is truely depressed over the loss of his hockey coach, then it's clear that he had a strong connection with this individual.
The best thing you could do for this individual is to talk to him as a friend and let him discuess his feelings.

Tell him that you understand he's sad about his coach and if he needs a shoulder to cry on or some one to talk to you're there for him. Just give it time and be his friend. If he's distant let him have his space but still try to be there for him. He'll come around. It's tough loosing a loved one and even if his coach wasn't close family he was part of the team aka family so he's grieving his loss give it time girl. From the sounds of it in time he'll be yours. Just be his for now if you know what I mean. Be that one to talk to and confide in. Let him show his emotions and even cry with him if you have too.

He needs support right now & time to greive, perhaps you try to hang out & take his mind of of things. Don't try to pry his feeling out but let him know that you are there for him if he needs someone to confide in. Leave it at that, he will come around.....takes time..It would also be nice to give him & light rub on the back & warm smile when you do see him..even if he doesnt make eye contact with you......it will just let him know you are concerned about him & let him know you care.

purely imagine become you chuffed once you went out with him? and did he manage you appropriate purely because it did not workout recurring the first time doesn't propose it cant workout recurring now, if he truly likes you he gained't stress you into going out with him or assembly up also in case you want him lower back tell him and ask him if he's severe about you, no human being else can decide for you, yet when i become you i'd would, plus i imagine each body merits a 2d probability.

Death of a loved one is something someone has to get over on his own, he has to make the choices, people can help him, but like don't over do it. just try saying. are you ok? are you feeling alright? encourage him to open up to people around him about how he feels, dont let him hide his grief away because, it could build up over time and thats not good.

When you see your friend just generally ask him how is he doing. Just say that you know that his coach died and if he ever needed someone to talk to you can be that person. Just because you liked someone doesn't mean you can't be friends with them because it didn't work become more.
Good Luck
