I seem to recall Brandon being a member of the PR a few years back. Very sad news to say the least. Anyone else recall this young man?

Sad news indeed but I don't ever remember him as an Argo.

I do see his name listed on a transaction from 2008, but don't remember him either. Still a sad story, RIP.

At the time of the coaching change in mid-season of '08, there was a lot of player movement and Joyce was one of many players brought in for a look on the PR. I am pretty sure that he never played a game though.
