It has been a heartbreaking few months in the hockey world, and today we have learned of the passing of University of Oregon goaltender Henry Bradford.
Henry Bradford beat the odds his entire hockey career, hailing from Arlington, Texas, and standing at only 5 foot 11 as a goaltender. Unfortunately, at the young age of 22, Henry Bradford has passed away.
We are heartbroken to share that our Senior goaltender, Henry «Hank» Bradford unexpectedly passed away on Friday, September 20th 2024. Hank was an incredibly kind and thoughtful man with a contagious laugh and an amazing sense of humor. As great a goalie as he was, Hank was an even better human. He was the perfect example of treating people how you want to be treated, never missing an opportunity to call someone «sir or ma'am.»
Hank, your mustache and last second splits will go down in Oregon hockey history forever. We'll miss you #1.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Hank's family and friends.
Rest in peace, Hank We love you
Known for his demeanor more than his play, Henry Bradford will leave a lasting legacy in the Texas hockey space and with the University of Oregon. The world lost an amazing man.
