Hall of Famer
Brodie Sr. was also a hockey player but never made it to the NHL. He played in Dresden, a town in Ontario, for the Chatham Thames Valley Brick, a major midget AA team, where he won the championship in 1977-78.
He was inducted into the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame in 2018, and into the local sports hall of fame in April.
He also went to the 1976-77 OMHA final as well.
We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family.
«His grandkids loved spending time with him, getting a push on the swings, soaking in the hot tub, singing country music, getting tractor rides or watching hockey games«
