It is with great sadness that the hockey world has lost another brother as the news came out of the passing of 31-year-old former junior hockey player Troy Wylie. News of his death came courtesy of the Napanee Raiders of the PJHL, a team Wylie had played for in his younger days, via a press release confirming he had passed away yesterday morning.
Troy Wylie will be remembered as a dedicated player and gentleman taken from this world much too soon; he had great character both on and off the ice. He has been able to impact many lives in his community and hockey world, and his absence will be felt for some time.
More recently, Troy Wylie had revived his love for the game and played for the Deseronto Bulldogs in the Eastern Ontario Super Hockey League's senior AAA division last season.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and all those who are mourning during this sad time.
