Today we are saddened by the passing of Taylor Ward 19, brother of Brandon Ward September 3^rd in an auto accident in Idaho while on his Mission. Taylor played with Tri-Valley 18AA and GSE 18AA for 1 ½ seasons ending last year. While not necessarily loud or gregarious, Taylor led his team with skill, determination and passion for the game and his teammates.

Taylor’s battle cry of “LET’S GO BOOYYYYS!!! at the start, and at key times during the game always got the adrenaline running for his whole team, coaches included. His love and support of his little brother was always evident in the way he encouraged and held him accountable. He was clearly the big brother to his little sister who looked at him through eyes of hero worship. His entire family have been key members and contributors to our hockey family since they joined.

Our thoughts, love and prayers go out to the entire Ward family at this time of great loss.
