A GoFundMe page has been launched to help the family cover funeral and legal expenses, and over $150,000 has already been raised.
It shows how deeply the entire hockey world, along with the Oakville community, has been affected by this tragedy.
We extend our deepest condolences to Melody's family and loved ones-especially to her mother, who remains very much in our thoughts.
