Jake Thomas Lane, age 32, passed away on September 14, 2022. He was born on September 28, 1989 to Michael and Mary (Tubbs) Lane in Milwaukee.
Jake is survived by his sons, Landon, Lucas, Levi and Louie; his mother, Mary; his sisters, Noelle and Brittany (Mike); the mother of his children, Jessie; his grandmothers; and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, Mike; and his grandfathers.

Jake adored his sons and loved spending time with them. His life revolved around his boys. Jake enjoyed hockey, both playing as a child and later coaching. Family meant everything to Jake!
Jake's Celebration of Life will be an open house from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 22, 2022 at Morningstar Golfers Club, S77W26285 Prairieside Dr. in Waukesha, WI 53189.

His untimely passing was such a tragic event that the Lane boy's Grandmother would like to help their mother support

the boys and their future needs.

Now is the time for the family to come together and heal, try to take one stressful item off their plate. If you can help the Lane boys in any way possible, the entire LANE family would appreciate any support.

ALL PROCEEDS will go directly into trust funds set up for each one of the boys.

See you there!

As we have already communicated we have updated our evaluation process based on parent and coaches feedback from the past couple years. All skaters will be evaluated by WCYHA coaches over a two week period. That two week period will begin on Tuesday September 20th and conclude on Saturday October 1st. Each skater will be afforded the opportunity to attend 6 skates. At the end of the two weeks the coaches will compile their evaluations and extend invitations to the A/B placement skates that will take place October 7-9th. The coaches evaluation skates carry no additional charge and we strongly encourage everyone to attend these skates even if you are not interested in playing for an A or B team.  As these are evaluations, in accordance with past policy, U10-U14 parents will not be allowed to observe these skates in the rink.The exact dates and times for the skates are listed below: 

All Skates are at Nagawaukee Ice Arena
