Miguel was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in March of 2021. After a long courageous battle for roughly 2.5 years Miguel passed away on August 21^st 2023 just 5 days after his 40^th Birthday. Migs loved hockey; he was both a dedicated player and a passionate trainer. He loved golfing, skiing, playing tennis and baseball, hunting, fishing, the outdoors, traveling and playing cards at the casino. He was a generous soul and loved his kids and family more than anything else in the world. He was a warrior until his last breath. A true example of courage, strength, and perseverance. Living was so important for him. His last two and half years of battling through cancer has clearly demonstrated that he wanted to live life to the fullest and be around his children and wife. He will be remembered as an exceptionally positive human being. He will be truly missed by his family and his friends as well as the hockey and construction communities of Sudbury.

Given Miguels vast popularity in the community, we as a family have decided to create a charity event called the Miggy Cup in his name to honor him and raise funds for NOFCC.
