Jacob Winterton, the older brother of NHL star Ryan Winterton, has tragically died at the age of 25 after a battle with cancer. Seattle Kraken center Ryan posted an emotional tribute to his brother, who played in the Ontario Hockey League, on Instagram with a series of photos. He wrote on Wednesday: ‘Today I lost my best friend. You weren’t just someone I loved, you were someone I looked up to, someone who guided me, believed in me, and helped shape the person I am today. ‘Watching you fight so hard and still having to say goodbye is a pain that never really fades. I’ll miss your voice, your advice, and the way you made everything feel a little less heavy. 📷 Getty Images #nhl #hockey #olympics #seattlekraken #sports
