We are heartbroken to share the passing of staff member Joshua, a beloved member of our Club family.

Josh grew up in our Club, spending more than 12 years as a member before recently returning as a staff member at our Bartlett J. McCartin Club. In 2019, he was named Youth of the Year, an honor that reflected his leadership, compassion, and ability to uplift everyone around him.

He carried with him a deep love for the Club, a passion for spoken word, and a remarkable ability to connect with others. Alongside his sister, Mikaelah, our 2018 Youth of the Year, Joshua represented the very best of what our Club stands for.

His impact on our youth, staff, and families is immeasurable. Josh will be deeply missed. We ask that you keep Josh's family, friends, and all who knew and loved him in your thoughts 💙

From Club kids to community leaders 💙
Our alumni are living proof that big dreams start right here—and today’s members are next in line.

We’re proud to celebrate the journeys of those who came before and the bright futures of those still walking these halls.

Once a Club kid, always a Club kid. ✨

From first steps on the ice to confident glides, they showed up, worked hard, and had an unforgettable experience during the Learn to Skate program at the Fifth Third Arena. 🏒❄️
We’re so proud of their growth on and off the ice!
