Legacy on the Ice
While Brodie Sr. showcased immense talent in hockey, he did not play in the NHL. Instead, he represented Dresden, Ontario, playing for the Chatham Thames Valley Brick, a distinguished midget AA team. His prowess led the team to clinch the championship in the 1977-78 season.
Jay Brodie's contributions to the sport were recognized with his induction into the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame in 2018, and a subsequent honor by the local sports hall of fame just this year.
Furthermore, he was a part of the 1976-77 OMHA finals.
Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his loved ones at this challenging time.
