Sad News regarding Mike Ryan
With great sadness we learned that Mike Ryan recently passed away on June 26, 2020. His passing was unrelated to COVID-19.
Mike was a great guy and will be fondly remembered.
Mike was a long-time player and executive with the Ajax Oldtimers Hockey League. He retired from the league a few years ago.
He served as President, Team Rep, VP, and Referee-in-Chief and was always the first to help or initiate events with the league. Mike was a doer...
Mike was also a master plumber, pipe-fitter, and repair guy that always stepped up to help a friend, friend of a friend, or anyone that needed help with plumbing, A/C, gas-fitting or just advice. He taught pipe-trades at Durham College for many years and then at the Union Hall - if someone graduated from Mike's courses, they knew what they were doing... or they didn't pass.
He is greatly missed... RIP
