The online fundraiser had collected more than $68,000 as of Sunday night (Jan. 24) and is being organized by Kathleen Zary of Saskatoon, mother of Kamloops Blazer Connor Zary. The money being raised will be used to support any possible renovations needed at the Sopotyk home, health-care costs and any additional supports the family may require. The Kamloops Blazers issued a statement after learning of the accident. “We are devastated at the news of Blazers’ forward Kyrell Sopotyk. Kyrell suffered a life-altering injury this weekend,” the statement reads. “He is a tremendous young man and an exemplary representative of our hockey club. The Blazer family is behind Kyrell and the Sopotyks. At this time, we will respect the privacy of his family.”
The Prince George Cougars have added another forward.
On Monday, general manager Dallas Thompson announced the acquisition of 18-year-old forward Charles Inglis from the Saskatoon Blades, in exchange for the Cougars’ second-round selection in the 2011 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.
Inglis played 137 regular season games for the Blades, recording 30 goals and 26 assists for 56 points. He’s also compiled 158 penalty minutes.
Listed at six feet and 183 pounds, Inglis is a product of Winnipeg. He was selected fourth overall by the Blades in the 2007 WHL Bantam Draft and will be attending Phoenix Coyotes training camp later this week.
Inglis was a member of Team West at the 2009 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Port Alberni.
