Many local hockey teams are mourning the loss of three, junior players who were involved in the fatal motor-vehicle accident that took place on Feb. 2, in Calgary, Alta.
JJ Wright, Caden Fine and Cameron Casorso all played for the Southern Alberta Mustangs junior hockey team. Wright and Casorso were 18 years old and Fine was 17.
They were heading to practice in a small passenger vehicle when a truck hauling gravel collided with them.
The Revlestoke Grizzlies said they are “heartbroken by this tragic loss”, and that they offer their sincere condolences to their families, friends and teammates.
“Their dedication to the sport and the joy they brought to the rink will never be forgotten, and their memory will live on within the hockey community,” they stated.
A GoFundMe is available for those interested donating to help mitigate the financial burden of travel, funeral costs and daily expense of the players families.
