STAVELY – The small southern Alberta town of Stavely is set to host a benefit game Sunday evening for three junior hockey players who died last week in a highway crash.
The Southern Alberta Mustangs will face the Stavely Spurs Alumni team starting at 6 p.m. at the local arena in honour of JJ Wright and Cameron Casorso, both 18 from Kamloops, B.C., and 17-year-old Caden Fine from Alabama, after they died on their way to a Mustangs practice last Monday.
“The event is intended as a quiet, meaningful space for families, local residents, and the hockey community to gather, reflect, and show support,” a statement from event organizers said Sunday.
“This memorial game is just one of the ways the community will honour the players. A larger memorial event for the wider hockey community is already being planned, and details will be shared as soon as they are confirmed.”
The three players were crossing a highway near Stavely, south of Calgary, when their car collided with a semi truck hauling gravel.
RCMP continue to investigate the cause of the collision, though officers have indicated so far that the crash wasn’t criminal.
The Alberta Transportation Ministry said it will review the intersection, which is standard procedure in cases of fatalities.
The Sunday benefit game is among several ongoing fundraisers that have, so far, raised tens of thousands of dollars for the families.
