In this heartfelt letter, it did provide some unknown details about the details of the incident, and what specific measures were taken to try and prevent Connor from passing.
"It is with saddened hearts that we inform you of the passing of a 12th grade student. He experienced a sudden medical event during a varsity ice hockey game last night and was transported to the hospital by ambulance. It is heartbreaking to report that he did not survive."

My name is Connor Kasin and I have been playing Ice Hockey since the age of four. I am an active, social, and encouraging teammate both on and off of the ice. I like to see my self as an active player in the way that I play both with and without the puck. Some things that would make me a good team candidate are my academic ability, leadership qualities, athletic performance, and my character. I can be seen as an overall defensive defenseman when it comes to my style of play. My goals are to get into a great college that provides me with both excellent coaching and education.
Thoughts and Prayers are being sent to the friends of family of Connor Kasin during this extremely heartbreaking time.
Rest in Peace..
