The Sylvania Youth Hockey Club and the broader local hockey community are mourning the death of young Brooks Bohland who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. He was announced dead in a social media post that says “Noah had the pleasure of having “Brooksie” as his teammate during the spring this year. They were usually out there kicking butt together or getting “yelled” at to “use a pass boys” My heart can’t even begin to think what his family is going through. Rest easy Brooksie”
