St. Louis hockey community gathers for family of teen shot on I55
The CBC Cadets hockey team honored the legacy of Colin Brown on Saturday evening. Colin's coaches said he was their leader.
AFFTON, Mo. The St. Louis hockey community remains committed to Colin Brown after the 16-year-old was fatally shot a week ago.
Last Saturday, Colin Brown and his father Calvin were heading home from a hockey game at the Affton Ice Rink when a stray bullet struck him on I-55.
Colin died from his injuries four days later.
“His memory, his legacy will live with us and we will feel his presence,” said Bob Jakubeck, head coach of the Affton field hockey team.
Both Brown's high school and club hockey coaches said he was their leader.
The impact Brown has left is clear.
On Saturday, Bar Down Sports Bar hosted a packed fundraiser for Brown. The bar donated 25% of sales to Brown's family.
“Colin is a connector. As you can see from the group we have here, he is still working on his unifying skills,” Jakubeck said.
On Saturday evening, the CBC varsity hockey team played against De Smet. It was the first time Brown's team took the ice since his death.
“We don't do it alone. We do it together, and the support from the community has definitely amplified that,” said Ryan Trenz, head coach of the CBC hockey team.
Brown's hockey coaches for CBC and Affton said their players are doing their best. They said playing again is exactly what Brown would have wanted.
“Every day has been a little better, and I know they know the Browns want us to play tonight, so it was emotional; tonight will be emotional,” Trenz said.
“I've seen so many signs since his passing that I know Colin is here and he's watching our entire team,” Jakubeck said.
For a week now, the hockey community and many in the St. Louis area have supported the Brown family in many ways.
The St. Louis Blues also paid tribute to Colin Brown on Saturday night. Before the match started, the team held a moment of silence.
Proceeds from Saturday's 50/50 drawing also went to Brown's family.
“I'm getting messages from all over the country, coaches and players contacting me saying, 'What can we do? We're heartbroken.' And the local community was just amazing. The St. Louis Blues were incredible, they take care of our guy,” Jakubeck said.
Brown's coaches said they have a guardian angel numbered 3 and 72 looking over them.
'He was mature beyond his years. A natural leader. And he was the first guy who picked you up when you were in trouble, or celebrated you when you were up again,” Trenz said.
“We know Brownie is with us, and he's going to help us heal and get past it,” Jakubeck said.
Brown's club hockey team for Affton will take the ice without him for the first time on Wednesday.
St. Louis police still have not apprehended the people responsible for his death.
Brown's funeral services are scheduled for visitation on Thursday at CBC from 4 to 9 p.m. His funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Friday at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis.
Brown's family is asking for donations to charities DAWG Nation, an organization committed to supporting local, national and international amateur ice hockey players and their families in times of crisis.
