Tragedy as three Mustang teenage hockey players are killed after collision with truck on their way to practice
The hockey community has been left in mourning after three teenage stars were killed in a car crash while travelling to Canada on Monday morning.
At around 11am, Southern Alberta Mustangs players JJ Wright, Cameron Casorso and Caden Fine were fatally injured after their car collided with a semi-truck in Stavely, Alberta, according to CTV News. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
Fine, a 17-year-old from Birmingham, Alabama, was a centre for the hockey team, while Wright was a left-winger and Casorso a goalie. Both were 18-years-old and from Kamloops, British Columbia.
The news was confirmed by a team statement which read: ‘It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we confirm three players from the Southern Alberta Mustangs were killed in a motor vehicle accident earlier today while travelling to team practice.
‘There are no words that can adequately express the depth of our grief. These young men were more than hockey players – they were teammates, sons, brothers, friends, and deeply loved members of our Mustangs family and the communities we call home.
‘The Southern Alberta Mustangs organization is working closely with authorities and will continue to support our players, staff, and families in every way possible during this incredibly difficult time’.
