On a nice summer day-yes we finally have those in central Connecticut- I was sitting by the pool reading the magazine every hockey fan should have a subscription to, “The Hockey News,” and I saw an interesting blurb that needs to be told in more detail. I credit “The Hockey News,” “The Windsor Star” and ESPN.com Page 2 write Gare Joyce for quotes and inspiration about this heartwarming story.

The Windsor Spitfires won this year’s CHL Memorial Cup, the first in their 34-year run in the OHL, and when captain and defenseman Harry Young lifted the big trophy over his head (yes, this time it did not break), he lifted it with the help of the spirit of Mickey Renaud.
