In a heartwarming show of solidarity, the Southern Alberta Mustangs are set to hold a benefit game to support the families of three junior hockey players who died in a devastating highway accident. The game will take place at the arena in Stavely, a small town located south of Calgary, and will feature the Mustangs against the Stavely Spurs Alumni team. This event serves as both a tribute to the young players and an opportunity for the community to come together in support of their grieving families.

The three players, JJ Wright and Cameron Casorso, both 18 years old from Kamloops, British Columbia, and 17-year-old Caden Fine from Alabama, lost their lives while on their way to a Mustangs practice last week. The tragic accident occurred when their vehicle collided with a semi-truck hauling gravel as they attempted to cross a highway. The news of their untimely death has sent shockwaves through the hockey community, prompting an outpouring of support and condolences from fellow players, teams, and fans across the nation.

As part of ongoing efforts to support the families impacted by this tragedy, the benefit game is one of several fundraising initiatives that have collectively raised tens of thousands of dollars. The community’s response highlights the strong bonds within the hockey family, as individuals come together to remember the lives lost and provide assistance to those left behind. The benefit game is expected to draw significant attention, not just for its competitive nature, but for its role in honoring the memory of the young athletes who will be sorely missed.
