The CBC High School hockey team and the St. Louis Blues came together to pay tribute to Colin Brown, a 16-year-old who tragically lost his life after being shot on Interstate 55. The CBC team played their first game since Colin’s passing at the Affton Hockey Rink, where they honored him with a touching group huddle and stick taps before the game started. Fans also showed their support with applause, signs, and T-shirts in memory of Colin.
Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues also made efforts to remember Colin before their game against the Philadelphia Flyers. A moment of silence was observed, and fans displayed jerseys to show their solidarity. Additionally, a 50-50 raffle drive was held to raise funds for Colin’s family during this difficult time.
