Young hockey goaltender tragically collapses and dies during a game
The dekhockey community is mourning the loss of 21-year-old goalie Zachary Bourassa, who tragically passed away during a tournament final in Trois-Rivières.
Bourassa was playing in a game when he suddenly collapsed and tragically lost his life.
According to reports from Marco Normandin, the incident occurred early in the game. Zachary signaled for help, feeling unwell, before collapsing into the arms of an official. Resuscitation efforts were made on the scene, including assistance from a nurse and a respiratory therapist, but sadly, they were unable to save him.
The suddenness of the event has left the dekhockey community and those in attendance shocked and heartbroken. Eyewitnesses recounted the harrowing scene, emphasizing the efforts made to try and save the young athlete.
"Sometimes, we hear stories where a death could have been avoided if certain actions had been taken earlier. This was the complete opposite. If he could have been saved, he would have been. The people present acted like true heroes."
- A direct witness of the scene"
Zachary, passionate about dekhockey and beloved by his teammates, had no prior symptoms leading up to his collapse. His sudden passing has left a profound impact on everyone involved, especially his family. Our deepest condolences go out to them during this difficult time.
