Ontario Hockey League Pays Tribute to Mickey Renaud
The Ontario Hockey League announced tributes to Windsor Spitfires’ captain Mickey Renaud, who passed away on Monday.
The league in conjunction with the Spitfires are developing a suitable video tribute that will be utilized before the next home game in each OHL city and that a commemorative #18 sticker will be worn on the helmet of every OHL player for the remainder of the season. The Spitfires are also planning to wear a special commemorative jersey crest until the conclusion of this season.
“This is obviously a very difficult time for Mickey’s family, friends and teammates as well as the entire Ontario Hockey League family,” said OHL Commissioner David Branch. “We take great pride in Mickey’s involvement in our league during the past three years and recognize the leadership, passion, love of the game and the respect for teammates and opponents that he brought to the rink every day. We are proud to dedicate these initiatives to honour the memory of a young man that was cherished in his community.”
In addition, the league announced that the game scheduled for Thursday February 21 between the Windsor Spitfires and the Plymouth Whalers has been postponed. A rescheduled date will be announced in the near future.
The Belleville Bulls also wish to extend their deepest condolences to Renaud family and the Windsor Spitfires organization.
