Former Junior A player tragically passes away at 21-years-old
We have some sad news to share in the hockey world on Monday morning as the Nipawin Hawks, a member of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) announced the passing of one of their former players.
In a post on social media, the Hawks shared that former defenceman Brady Grasdal has passed away at the age of 21.
"The Nipawin Jr "A" Hawks family mourns the heartbreaking passing of Brady Grasdal who's tragically ended too soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and many teammates at this time.
May you rest in peace Brady.''
"We regret to announce the passing of Brady Grasdal, at the age of 21.
Grasdal played for the Nipawin Hawks in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) last season."
Grasdal spent the 2022-23 season with the Nipawin Hawks, recording one assist in eight games and the two prior seasons in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League with the Portage Terriers.
The thoughts of everyone here at Blade of Steel are with Grasdal's family, friends and former teammates at this difficult time.
