In Memory Of
Ryan Williams
Ryan passed away on April 14, 2011. He served as Buckeye Current’s Vice Chairman when the team was first founded and was a passionate hockey player, aviator and motorcyclist. All of the team’s motorcycles named “RW” were done so in honor of Ryan. Each one of our bikes is marked with wings as a tribute to this team member and friend.
Race on, Ryan. You are missed.
