Hundreds of Canadians on Monday are mourning an Ontario hockey player who died after hitting his head on the ice during a fight.
Don Sanderson, 21, died Friday after he went into a coma following a tussle during an Ontario Hockey Association game at the Brantford Civic Center on Dec. 12. in southwestern Ontario.
The defenseman's helmet fell off and he struck the back of his head when both players tumbled to the ice.
Some 500 people, including his teammates wearing hockey jerseys, gathered Monday at a church in his hometown of Port Perry, Ont., northeast of Toronto.
Sanderson was a rookie defenseman with the Whitby Dunlops, a senior AAA team, which is the highest level of senior amateur hockey in Canada.
