On February 5th, Brendan Burke, son of Brian Burke-GM for Toronto Maple Leafs, and his friend, Mark Reedy, were killed in a weather related car accident.

Brendan Burke came out back in 2007 to his father and his family. Similar to millions, Brendan was afraid to come out to his father, due to his notorious temper, and also because of his personal college hockey career. When he came out, both his father and his teammates were completely supportive. Later on he became student manager for University of Miami Ohio. His coming out was a blessing said one peer, it reminded them about LOVE and RESPECT for one another.

This is a major loss to the Burke Family, friends, University of Miami Ohio, the hockey world, and the Gay and Lesbian community. We will keep the Burke and Reedy families in our thoughts and prayers.
