An historic night in the 2023-24 home opener at Southwood …
when Brady Carne stepped on the ice for his 1st shift he became the 3rd generation in this family to have played for the Navy Vets.
While there have been many father-son combinations in team history this will be this first 3-generation family.
Brady’s dad Chris played on some successful teams in the 1990s and his grandfather Jim Wilkins was a key member of the 1969 OHA Schmalz Cup Champions team !!
