Again at the center of the playoff success was Colin Dorgan. The senior's mother, brother and grandfather were killed in the shooting that erupted while he was playing a Senior Day game with his Blackstone Valley Co-op teammates at Rhode Island's Dennis M. Lynch Arena last month. Police identified Robert Dorgan as the shooter who killed ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan and son Aidan Dorgan on Feb. 16 in the stands. Authorities say the shooting was targeted. Colin Dorgan's grandfather Gerald Dorgan was also shot and later died from his wounds, and two others were severely injured. The tragedy rattled a close-knit hockey community, with many wondering how the high school hockey season could continue. Yet in the weeks since, Dorgan not only repeatedly laced up his skates as team captain but performed so well that he helped propel the team to the Division 2 final thanks to his winning goal in double overtime in the semifinals last week. In Wednesday's final, it was Dorgan's goal off of a deflection that tied the score with about 30 seconds left. Four overtimes later, teammate Jaxon Boyes won it.

"It's nothing short of absolutely amazing what happened," Dorgan said. "I couldn’t have done it without these people next to me. Just the fact that we bonded so closely after that event, I think it’s incredible." Wednesday's championship win was more than just a trophy for the Blackstone Valley locker room. "We've been through so much," said head coach Chris Librizzi. "To everybody else, it's just a game, but it's not just a game, it's real life to us." The tragedy brought the team closer together. The team wore the initials of the family members Colin lost on their jerseys, solidifying a bond that can never be broken. "Right here right on my chest – they’re with me every step of the way," said Dorgan. "I felt it every step of the way, they are still with me. I love them so much and they’re still here, and I know it." "We won this tournament because of love. We won it because of love and we’re a family," said Librizzi.
