Hockey Teams 19 Year Old Captain Tragically Dies During Game
The Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League is mourning today following the death of a 19 year old during a hockey tournament. Eli Palfreyman, captain of the Ayr Centennials has died during a pre-season tournament in the small Ontario town of Ayr.
Palfreyman was named captain of the team just 5 days ago and was officially introduced with the C prior to the tournament beginning, and could not be more excited with the opportunity. Unfortunately Palfreyman had his run cut short, as the 19 year old collapsed during the team's dressing room at the 1st intermission and efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
The team later announced that they had lost 1 of their own and
the tournament had been postponed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Eli's family
during this difficult time.
