<p>Every article I’ve read said that he was found in Dewitt NY which is near Syracuse and nowhere near the Canadian border. It is also the route he’d take from Brockport back to Utica.</p>
<p>This young man was a hockey player in high school, which was three years ago. There’s no indication he played for his college’s team. He was also a track star in high school. Maybe there’s something about running track that contributes to being an abuser. </p>
<p>Describing playing hockey as ‘in the culture of violent sport’ is a stretch. A long one. I know hundreds of hockey players including many in the NHL. I also know many girls and women who play hockey. I’ve never seen any evidence of any particular ‘culture’, nor do I know any who have been violent off the ice.</p>
<p>Romani is absolutely right. Trying to tie this type of tragedy to a sport played by the perpetrator does indeed demonstrate a gross lack of understanding of the issue.</p>
