An absolute tragedy.

Prayers to the victim, and their family and friends. Also to all the players on the ice, and everyone in attendance—as it was supposedly an absolutely horrific incident to witness (think Clint Malarchuk x 100).

Devastated to hear this. Played hockey many years and was able to avoid serious puck/stick/skate injuries. With all those games it seems a miracle sometimes. Way too young. What a trauma for everyone involved. RIP brother

Absolutely awfulj it was a jv game I think. Not sure about Malarchuck reference but if true I know that couple years ago Prep schools didn't require neck guards. Believe they are still required for public schools

I never played the game but was always surprised I never heard stories of this happening. What a horrific tragedy and with his father watching. RIP Teddy and prayers for his family and friends.
