We at the Motor City Knights are saddened to learn of the passing of Mike Valenti. Mike was a great competitor, whether it was for a tournament championship, or for a simple beer league game. But he was more than a hockey player, he was a better person and father to his family. It was a pleasure to see him around the rink and we will dearly miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, his children, friends, family, and the entire Chicago roller hockey community.
If you would like to help the family during their time of need, a GoFundMe has been set up in Mike’s honor. https://gofund.me/c1935430a
