A car accident has left three junior hockey players dead in Canada.
Caleb Reimer, 16; Parker Magnuson, 17; and Ronin Sharma, 16, were killed when the vehicle they were in crashed into a tree early Saturday morning in British Columbia, according to the Vancouver Sun.
All three had played at the Delta Hockey Academy.
Reimer was a first-round draft selection of the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League two years ago.
The NHL commented on the tragedy Sunday:
“The NHL sends its love and deepest condolences to the families of junior hockey players Caleb Reimer, Ronin Sharma and Parker Magnuson who tragically passed away in a car accident on Saturday,” the league said in a statement. “Rest in peace boys.”
