Teen athlete dies from stroke complications on Christmas Day
KSTP ^ | December 27th, 2022 | staff

Posted on 12/27/2022 5:56:32 PM PST by shadowlands1960

A teenage hockey player died on Christmas Day after suffering a stroke in early December.

The St. Paul Capitols Hockey Association said that Cormick Scanlan “passed away peacefully last night surrounded by family” adding that “Our strength is with the Scanlans and all who loved Cormick.”

A GoFundMe created by a Cretin-Derham Hall student and teacher states that Cormick suffered a stroke on Dec. 6 and it was then discovered that he had a rare condition called moyamoya disease.

The St. Paul hockey community paid respects to the Scanlan family during a moment of silent prayer before a game on Dec. 22. Many players also wore #17 stickers on their helmets, according to the CaringBridge website. Cretin-Derham Hall said in a statement “Our community is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Cormick.”

“Nothing to see here...move along.”

Anyone have the courage for some speculation.

This is such a travesty...

From Wikipedia:

Moyamoya disease is a disease in which certain arteries in the brain are constricted. Blood flow is blocked by constriction and blood clots (thrombosis).

It can be congenital or it can be acquired. Any guess as to how this kid acquired it would be a shot in the dark. So to speak.

A terrible tragedy, especially sad at Christmas time.

No doubt. Looks like a nice kid, his parents are probably destroyed.

I’m so sorry for these poor people. I’m so relieved that I stood my ground, fought my husband, and would NOT vaccinate my kids. Too many “died suddenly” for my comfort. I would be a nervous wreck reading these stories. Besides just horrified for the poor boy and his family.

“Teen athlete dies from stroke complications on Christmas Day”

Teen athletes were dropping like flies from strokes when I was growing up. Or perhaps they just want me to think that was the case...

Yep... kids were stroking out in my PE class all the time... remember that well.

I’ve noticed calls on my scanner page to my local HS for ‘seizures’ frequently. About five times this last year, mostly at football games.

He went to St Paul’s and he needs a Gofundme?

Maybe it isn’t the prep school?

I suspect the GoFundMe was setup while he was still alive, for medical expenses.

No, no, no. We’ve had a few athletes die from extreme heat or undetected heart defects. But not strokes. This is not normal. We know what happened. We know who did it. So what are the penalties?

Boooshes’ fault!

(Sorry, it had to be said. I haven’t heard it screamed by the lefties in a long time. Nostalgia)
