Hockey community continues to mourn influential athletes lost this week
The passing of these young women comes on the heels of two other horrific tragedies that have impacted the hockey community. This includes the passing of former NHL enforcer Chris Simon. Simon also passed away suddenly after a battle with mental health as a result of CTE.
Unfortunately the hockey community has had to deal with tragedy in abundance this week. The untimely passing of both Sidney Capolino and Meghan Moore feels particularly cruel as they were both just getting their adult life under way.
We at Hockey OTB send out deepest condolonces to the families and friends of all those lost in the hockey community this week.
