“Windsor Spitfire Captain Mickey Renaud suddenly collapsed at his Tecumseh home and was transported to Windsor Regional Hospital with absent vital signs. All attempts were made at resuscitation and were unsuccessful at the emergency room,” commented Windsor Spitfires Team Physican Dr. Roy Diklich.

“This is the biggest tragedy in Spitfire history. Words alone cannot describe our pain at this time,” said Windsor Spitfires Vice-President and General Manager Warren Rychel.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Renaud family during this most difficult time,” commented Windsor Spitfires President and Head Coach Bob Boughner.

This is a huge tragedy. I am not big on the OHL news, and I have not heard of this player until today. He seems to be a steady player, who put up 21 goals and 41 points in 56 games this season, and was also drafted in the fifth round by the Calgary Flames in last year’s NHL entry draft.

The Spitfires have secured a spot in this years OHL playoffs, and I hope they do well, and play hard for their deceased captain.
