Mack Motzko killed on Saturday night
According to Jess Myers of The Pioneer Press, 20 year old Mack Motzko was killed in a car crash on Saturday night when the vehicle he was traveling in struck several trees. According to police Mack was one of two passengers in the vehicle, the other a 24 year old that was in the front seat at the time of the crash was pronounced dead at the scene, and was initially listed in critical condition alongside the 51 year old driver. Unfortunately the young man succumbed to his injuries and died some time later in hospital.
Because Mack is the son of current University of Minnesota Men's Hockey head coach Bob Motzko, word of the tragedy spread quickly in the hockey world, and the University of Minnesota Athletic Department issued a brief statement on Sunday morning offering condolences and requesting privacy for the Motzko family.
�'We are devastated for Bob, Shelley, their family and all involved," said Gophers athletic director Mark Coyle. "This is an unimaginable tragedy, and we will do everything we can to support those affected. We ask for privacy for the families, as they mourn the loss of loved ones."
