Nelson Brown was a member of the Park County Pee-Wee Hockey Team who had terminal cancer. He often felt ill and weak, and was ultimately confined to a hospital bed because of his affliction. Ike replaced him on the pee-wee hockey team.
He died at the end of "Stanley's Cup" as the hope of winning the pee-wee hockey game was the only thing that was keeping him alive.
