A feel-good story and showcase of true resilience โค๏ธ๐จ
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.
Dorganโs 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 ๐จ๐ฆTroy Murray at the age of 63, after a five-year fight against cancer. ๐

After that, Murray went on to score 627 (247+380) points in 1,028 career games in the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks ๐บ๐ธ, Winnipeg Jets ๐จ๐ฆ, Ottawa Senators ๐จ๐ฆ, Pittsburgh Penguins ๐บ๐ธ, and Colorado Avalanche ๐บ๐ธ โ where he won a Stanley Cup in 1996.
