MAJOR | Nineteen-year-old NCAA player tragically passes away
The hockey community is in mourning after the heartbreaking announcement that just came through. Involved in a car accident, a 19-year-old tragically passed away earlier today.

Jones, Gasparini, Bluhm and Mortensen were freshmen on the 2023 Gustavus hockey team:
