YORKTON, Sask. — A 17-year-old teenager who was one of two people killed in a two-vehicle collision on the weekend has been identified as the nephew of NHL player Jarret Stoll.
Jordan Stoll was killed Saturday while on his way to a Saskatchewan Roughriders game in Regina with his friend, Hunter Arnold, 18, who remains in hospital in serious condition.
Their vehicle collided with a car driven by 29-year-old Tyler Dobko, who was also killed.
Jarret Stoll has returned to Yorkton, Sask., to be with family.
He says and he and his nephew were very close, with the teen following him wherever he could.
Stoll says his nephew was there both times he won a Stanley Cup while playing in Los Angeles.
``He was a very sensitive, caring, loving kid who had his whole life ahead of him,'' Stoll said. ``Definitely not fair what happened.
``My parents took him everywhere, he didn't want to miss a road trip. Any game that was between eight and 10 hours away, he wanted to be there.''
In the summers, Stoll said his nephew was committed to farming. Their last conversation they had was over the phone while Jordan was combining.
``[We talked] about how it was going, how long he'd been in the field and how the crop was looking,'' Stoll said.
He added it was typical of Jordan to check in with family members, even texting his grandpa once in a while to see how he was doing.
Stoll flew back from Columbus to be with his family after Jordan's death.
He had signed a professional try-out deal with the Blue Jackets to try and win a spot on their roster for the upcoming season.
He said the memory of Jordan will influence the rest of his career.
``You think about him all the time,'' he said. ``And you go from there.''
RCMP are still investigating the cause of the crash.
