Caden Fine

Age 17
Birmingham, Alabama
Caden travelled more than 2,300 miles from Birmingham, Alabama to chase his dream of playing hockey in Canada. "That was his dream — to play in Canada," said his father Daniel Fine. Caden was remembered by his teammates as motivated, fun, and full of life. He brought a smile and Timbits to every team moment.

Cameron Casorso
Goaltender
Age 18
Kamloops, BC
Cameron grew up in the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association from 2012 to 2025 before joining the Mustangs. Teammates remembered him as soft-spoken, smart, and dependable. "You needed him to do something, he did it," said defenceman Taydon Perkins. "He was an amazing kid."

JJ Wright
Left Wing
Age 18
Kamloops, BC
JJ played in the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association from 2011 to 2025. He moved to defence early in the Mustangs season but told his father he planned to talk to the coach — after the next game, when Cameron was in goal and he needed to protect him. "JJ wasn't just a teammate — he was a part of our hockey family."
Kamloops Minor Hockey Association
"Although their journeys began here in Kamloops, they found a second hockey family and a new bond with the Southern Alberta Mustangs. We are grieving together, as one hockey family forever changed by the loss of these young men."

"Hockey runs deep in communities like ours. These young men were part of that story, and we will honour them. This loss is felt not only in Stavely and Nanton, but across our surrounding communities and our country."
Nanton, Alberta
"Hockey runs deep in communities like ours. It's not just a sport, it's generations of early mornings, long drives, cold drinks, and proud parents in the stands. These young men were part of that story, and we will honour them."
