It’s been one year since the sudden death of Eli Palfreyman, a junior hockey player in the community of Ayr. Wednesday marked one year since his death.
While it certainly hasn’t been easy, Eli’s mother, Tammy Palfreyman is finding comfort in the fact his former team, the Ayr Centennials, are continuing to find new ways to remember him.
"It's been probably one of the hardest years of our life," she told CTV News Friday.
Eli, 20, suddenly collapsed in the dressing room during the second intermission of a pre-season game on Aug. 20, 2022. His death left a hole in the small community of Ayr while bringing everyone together in an unimaginable way.
"So although I lost my son which is heartbreaking and nobody can imagine the pain, I've gained so many friends and family."
The cause of Eli’s death is still unknown. His team continued to honour him throughout the year.
