Tragic fire claims life of young hockey player: three others injured
A cottage in Prince Edward Island was tragically engulfed in flames over the weekend, killing one hockey player and severely injuring three others.
A weekend of fun between hockey teammates unfortunately turned sour when the cottage they were staying at caught on fire. Noah Latimer of the Cole Harbour Colts, in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League, unfortunately passed away, while three others he was with suffered major injuries.
The scene was held by the RCMP and the investigation is ongoing."
The Truro Bearcats of the Maritime Hockey League is where Latimer played part of his young career at, and they confirmed that all four involved in the fire used to be on their team.
Noah Latimer played parts of 2 seasons with the Bearcats in 2021/22 and 2022/23.
Rest easy 22, forever in our hearts. ❤️🖤
Noah was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and played most of his young career there, splitting some time in the province of New Brunswick as well. He played in both the NSJHL and the MHL.
We would like to extend our deepest and most sincerest condolences to Noah's entire family and friends during this very tough time.
