The Chicago Central MSBL is saddened to announce the death of board member and 53 Islanders player Brian Hickman. Brian had been on our board of directors for seven years, often tasked with the unenviable duty of straightening out all our paperwork requirements, and keeping our rule book fresh and accurate. We send our thoughts and sympathies to Hick's friends and family.
