The Cowichan Valley sports community lost the consummate beer leaguer last week when Bruce Klaassen — better known to many as Peewee — died suddenly at the age of 45.
A cornerstone of multiple local hockey teams, an original member of the Cowichan River Rats lacrosse club, and a player and ref in local flag football leagues, Peewee will be missed by hundreds of friends throughout the Valley and across Vancouver Island.
A celebration of Peewee’s life will be held this Wednesday (April 26) at Mellor Hall on the Cowichan Exhibition Grounds beginning at 1 p.m.
