In late March 2023, Ottawa’s former keeper Dylon Powley and his family faced an unfortunate and unthinkable loss. Tragically, Nicholas Powley, younger brother of Dylon, passed away on March 30th after a prolonged battle with mental illness.
On behalf of all of CCSG, we send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Dylon, his parents Angela and Craig, the extended Powley family, and all those who had the pleasure of knowing Nicholas personally or in passing. We are holding you all close to our hearts in this difficult time.
In the wake of his untimely passing, the Powley Family has started a gofundme to help raise money for mental health foundations in Nicholas’ memory. Please, if you are able, donate to the Foundations through the link below. Otherwise, please share it with those around you: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nicholas-powley?utm_campaign=p_lico+share-sheet&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer
