15-year-old hockey player Connor Dunn tragically lost his life on Easter Sunday when he was hit by a drunk driver while riding his e-bike with a friend.
Connor was struck and murdered while riding his e-bike with a friend on Easter Sunday, a day that was supposed to be a celebration that ultimately ended as a tragic loss.
"Our hockey family here at Sportsnet sends out its deepest condolences to the Dunn family of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.," said broadcaster David Amber, as photos of the young athlete flashed on the screen. «The Sault, one of the great hockey communities in all of Canada, and this week tragedy hit as 15-year-old Connor Dunn died after being struck by an alleged impaired driver on Easter Sunday."
The individual who has been charged in connection with the accident is 18-year-old Gregory Parise, who now stands to face a series of serious charges, including impaired driving causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death.
It is important to note that these charges have not yet been proven in court, and it remains to be seen if and when Parise will be convicted. This was reported by SooToday.com.
Connor was a hot-headed and devoted player, and he proudly wore his jersey for the Soo Jr. Greyhounds U16 AA hockey team. Just last month, he played an integral part in helping his team capture the NOHA title in an exciting overtime victory.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to his entire family and friends. Connor will truly be missed.
