UPDATE: A gofundme page is raising money for the family of Henry Lent, a loved member of our hockey community, gone too soon.
The page states: While at a hockey clinic, Henry collapsed on the ice and suffered a catastrophic brain injury. We don’t know why. He was administered CPR, then lifeflighted to a specialty hospital. He was immediately ventilated, and after some testing it was determined that he was completely brain dead upon arrival to the ER. Charity and I were with him throughout the night and he never breathed on his own and his other organs began to fail. With no hope of recovery, we made the decision to remove his breathing tube at 11:51, and he was pronounced dead at 12:14, August 18, 2020, while in the loving arms of his mom and dad.
Let’s rally and raise money so that Henry’s family can focus on what is most important during this difficult tim
