The ice hockey world is mourning
Jacob Winterton. The 25-year-old Canadian died after battling cancer, causing great sadness among former teammates and fans.
Winterton played his junior year with the Oshawa Generals, where he made a name for himself with commitment and consistency. He then played for the University of Guelph for several years, combining studies and competitive sports at a high level.
Over the course of his career, he also shared the ice with well-known ICEHL players, including:
Giordano Finoro
(formerly Asiago and Bozen) as well
Allan McShane and
Giovanni Vallati
(both Asiago). According to the Canadian media, within the team he was considered a reliable teammate who was valued in the locker room.
Even during his illness, he remained combative and became an example of solidarity and strength for many around him. His brother
Ryan Winterton
currently plays with the
Seattle Kraken in the NHL.
