We must share the news that we hoped we would never have to share...
The young hockey player who received a puck to the throat in Saint-Eustache has unfortunately passed away.
We are absolutely speechless.

See TVA's report of the events.
"A young 11-year-old hockey player received a puck to the throat during a practice session on Tuesday at the Saint-Eustache arena.
The tragic accident occurred around 7 p.m., while a few parents were in the stands of one of the Walter-Buswell complex's rinks. Under circumstances that need to be clarified, the teenager was accidentally hit in the throat by a puck shot by a teammate".

It's a sadness absolutely beyond words.
