Just a quick memorium:
If you remember the Leftovers, then perhaps you remember the Aussie I-leaguer Jeremy Hunkin. While in the States on business, he decided to join up with our league. After three sessions playing with the Leftovers, he had his fill of hockey, and left us with many interesting and happy memories. While his hockey skills didn't warrant much gameplanning, his accent would often draw a double-take from opposing players.
I received the sad news this week that Jeremy was killed in a motorcycle accident back in Australia.

Jeremy and his wife Sandy went through skating class with myself and a few others who now play, then we moved into hockey asap. They were some of the nicest people you could possibly meet and were trying to get moved back to a job here with Lockheed I believe. We had spoken about a year ago about maybe visiting them in Melbourne, but sadly we never made it there. Jeremy aka "Jez" was an awesome friend to know on and off the ice. You're gonna be missed a lot by everyone who ever got the chance to play on a line with you or hang out with you at the Crossbar. I'd like to encourage everyone who played with him to place a sticker or piece of tape on their helmets in this week's game with his initials or nickname written on it in honor of our friend--a small chance to show respect for our friend. Damn this really just sucks, couldn't have happened to a cooler guy. RIP Bro, I feel terrible for you and your family

It is sad to hear this tragedy happen. Jeremy was a teammate of mine for 3 seasons on the Leftovers. While he was here in DFW, he had a passion to learn the game of hockey. He was one of the nicest people I ever met. He always came in the dressing room with a smile on his face and he had a great sense of humor. I will be praying for Sandy and her family.
