The hockey world is in mourning as it comes to terms with the tragic loss of a young talent. Emile Gagne, who made a positive impact in both the QJHL and CHL, passed away at the age of 19 due to a devastating traffic accident.
In the 2016-2017 season, Emile Gagne showcased his skills on the ice while playing for the Mauricie Estacades Bantam AAA R, Collège Laflèche Dragons, Princeville Titans, and Joliette Prédateurs in the QJHL. Hailing from Trois-Rivières, Quebec, Gagne was not just a player; he was a member of a closely-knit team, having shared his hockey journey with his teammates from the very beginning.
In the wake of this heart-wrenching tragedy, a GoFundMe account has been created to honor Emile Gagne's memory and support his family in covering unforeseen expenses. The hockey community is coming together to pay tribute to a young talent whose potential was cut short far too soon.
