It is with a heavy heart that we announce that we have lost another member of our hockey family, and at a far too young of age.

Saturday night, after battling cancer, Braydin Lewis who was only 19 years old, has passed away.

The young gdefenceman played for 3 seasons in the USHL playing for the Metro Jets, and developed into a promising young player. Last season he scored 9 goals and 45 points in 37 games.

This year he was limited to just 6 games due to his cancer, and still scored 3 goals and an assist.
