A feel-good story and showcase of true resilience ❤️🚨
Colin Dorgan, whose mother, brother, and grandfather passed away in the tragic shooting at Lynch Arena on February 16, was the double-overtime hero for Blackstone Valley in the semifinals.
Dorgan’s overtime goal sends Blackstone Valley to the Rhode Island Division 2 High School championship game.
During the regular season Dorgan only scored 1 goal in 16 games. He now has 3 goals in 3 playoff games. Incredible.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of former forward 🇨🇦Troy Murray at the age of 63, after a five-year fight against cancer. 💜
Murray was most notably the captain for Canada 🇨🇦 when they won their first ever gold medal at the World Junior Championship in 1982. He scored 8 (4+4) points in 7 games and later represented the men’s team at the 1987 World Championship.
After that, Murray went on to score 627 (247+380) points in 1,028 career games in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks 🇺🇸, Winnipeg Jets 🇨🇦, Ottawa Senators 🇨🇦, Pittsburgh Penguins 🇺🇸, and Colorado Avalanche 🇺🇸 — where he won a Stanley Cup in 1996.

The only notable aspect of this match was 🇹🇷Emin İnandı scoring twice to lead the D3A tournament in goals for a third straight year, also setting the single tournament record with 13.
This was also the worst finish for the Bulgarians at the U18 level since 2014 when they also placed 5th in this division.
