1974-1975 Elmvale Juvenile Hockey Team

Springwater Sports Heritage was deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Steve, a cherished member of our community and an honored inductee into the Springwater Sports Heritage Hall of Fame. Steve was a proud member of the 1974/75 Elmvale Juveniles hockey team, who captured the Ontario Championship title and were inducted into our Hall of Fame in 2024.

Steve’s contributions extended far beyond the rink. As a founding partner of Innovative Automation in Barrie, ON, he helped shape the company into a pillar of innovation and success, most recently serving as Chair of the Board. His principled, visionary, and collaborative leadership earned him immense respect in both business and community circles.

Yet perhaps most enduring was Steve’s commitment to giving back. A passionate advocate for community growth and generosity, he consistently lent his time, energy, and expertise to causes greater than himself. His legacy is one of excellence, service, and integrity.

Steve will be remembered not only for his athletic and professional accomplishments, but also for the kindness and humility with which he lived his life. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the lives he touched.
