People connected to the Wellington Dukes are in mourning following the passing a cornerstone of their extended family.

They posted the following message on their Facebook page to honour long-time booster Betty Masterson

DUKES FACEBOOK MESSAGE – The Wellington Dukes organization is saddened to learn of the passing of long time Dukes volunteer, supporter and friend Betty Masterson who passed away on Saturday.

Betty was the living embodiment of everything being a volunteer means. Betty dedicated countless hours over 35 seasons with the Dukes in the ticket office and with the Dukes booster club. Her dedication, passion, and commitment to the Dukes is unmatched.

Volunteers are the heartblood of junior hockey and you’d be hard pressed to find a person who poured their heart and soul into our team like Betty Masterson.

Betty will be missed, but she will never be forgotten by the Dukes organization!

Rest in peace Betty
