31-year-old Greater Napanee resident Troy Wylie has tragically passed away today after he was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident.

Wylie was well known in his local community as a good hockey player, but more importantly, a great human being. An obituary from a local newspaper highlighted what made Wylie such an invaluable part of his community. Not only was he a skilled hockey player, but by all accounts, he was simply a terrific human being. He was known for his competitive spirit, but also showcased good sportsmanship, something that is vital for the continued success of local and junior hockey.

"Troy's death has left an indelible void in the hearts of those who knew him. Known for his love of hockey, Troy was an integral part of the local sports scene, where his skills on the ice were admired by teammates, coaches, and fans alike. His dedication to the game, combined with his competitive spirit and sportsmanship, made him a standout player in Ontario's ice hockey community. Troy's presence on and off the ice was felt not only through his performance but also through the way he inspired those around him with his commitment and passion for the sport."

Wylie played for his hometown Napanee Raiders when he was a kid, completing four seasons with the team, including three as an alternate captain. In 156 career games with the team, he notched 20 goals and 42 points, primarily from the blueline, although he also played forward on occasion.

More recently, he joined the Deseronto Bulldogs of the EOSHL, a senior league serving parts of the Toronto area. He had a goal and assist in ten games with the club last season. Everyone here at HockeyLatest would like to send our deepest condolences to the Wylie family tonight. May Troy rest in peace.
