Former Ontario Hockey League (OHL) player Jacob Winterton, the older brother of Seattle Kraken<\/a> center Ryan Winterton, has died after his battle with cancer, the league confirmed in a statement Wednesday. He was 25.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The OHL is saddened by news of the passing of former Flint Firebirds and Oshawa Generals forward Jacob Winterton, taken far too soon following a battle with cancer<\/a> at the age of 25,” the OHL\u2019s statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The OHL sends thoughts and condolences to the Winterton family, as well as Jacob\u2019s friends during this difficult time.”<\/p>\n

Winterton, who celebrated a birthday in January, played two seasons in the OHL, including time with the Firebirds during the 2018-19 season and with the Generals during the 2019-20 season. He registered 18 goals, 19 assists and 37 points in 125 games before moving on to play four seasons at the University of Guelph.<\/p>\n

“The Oshawa Generals are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former General Jacob Winterton. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and the greater hockey community,” the team said in a statement posted on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Jacob and his family are in our thoughts today. Condolences from the Firebirds as we lose one of our own far too young,” the team said in a separate post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ryan Winterton, who followed his brother into the OHL before making his NHL<\/a> appearance, took a temporary leave of absence to “attend to a family matter,” the team announced Monday.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Ryan Winterton shared a heartbreaking farewell message to his older brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Today I lost my best friend. You weren\u2019t just someone I loved, you were someone I looked up to, someone who guided me, believed in me, and helped shape the person I am today. Watching you fight so hard and still having to say goodbye is a pain that never really fades.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll miss your voice, your advice, and the way you made everything feel a little less heavy. Some days will be harder than others, but I\u2019ll hold on to the love, the lessons, and the memories you left me with. You\u2019ll always be a part of me, in everything I do. Forever loved, forever missed. Until we meet again Cobs.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
