We are deeply saddened to share the news that one of our players, Jack Shepherd, a valued member of our KTMHA membership, and player for our King Rebellion U18AA hockey team, has tragically passed away Wednesday evening in an accident. Jack was the nephew of Randy Shepherd (President of Schomberg Minor Hockey and King Minor Hockey). Ben Shepherd, Randy’s son was also in the accident but was not injured.
Jack was not only a talented hockey star but also highly respected by his teammates, friends, and coaching staff. His loss is felt profoundly within our community.
We are actively seeking additional resources to support his teammates and coaching staff during this difficult time. It’s moments like these that remind us of the importance of coming together as a community to offer comfort and strength.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew Jack, especially his teammates, and of course, the Shepherd family.
