The university shared the heartbreaking announcement on social media, expressing their sorrow and highlighting Bradford's incredible character.
Bradford was described as an "incredibly kind and thoughtful man" with a contagious laugh and a great sense of humour. His teammates and coaches praised him for embodying the principle of treating others with respect. They fondly remembered his memorable moments on the ice, particularly his signature mustache and impressive last-second saves.
Over his three seasons with the Ducks, Bradford played in 11 games in the ACHA, recording a 2-8-0 record, a 4.22 goals against average, and an .885 save percentage. Everyone at Blade of Steel is thinking of Bradford's family and friends during this difficult time. He will be missed deeply by the Oregon hockey community.
