A high school ice hockey player has died after sustaining a skate injury during a game, in what school officials called an"unimaginable tragedy."
During the game, a St. Luke's player fell to the ice and a Brunswick player unable to stop collided with him, police said. The St. Luke's player's neck was cut by the skate blade, Brunswick school officials said in a letter sent to alumni Friday. The boy was treated by Brunswick medical staff before he was transported to a local hospital, but"tragically, he did not survive the operation," Brunswick officials said.
Brunswick officials said the school has arranged counseling and support for the hockey team as needed in the coming days."We woke up this morning with the heaviest hearts after hearing of the tragic loss of one of New Canaan's own," New Canaan Hockey said on Twitter."Teddy was a wonderful young man, always smiling, a terrific teammate. No words are adequate for the grief we are all feeling.
