GREENWICH, Conn. — A high school student has died after being seriously injured during a school hockey game in Greenwich Thursday evening.
During a hockey game at The Brunswick School in Greenwich, a player from St. Luke's School in New Canaan fell on the ice. Another player was not able to stop and collided with the player who fell, Greenwich police said.
The player on the ice sustained an injury, police said. The game was stopped and 911 was called. The injured student was taken to Greenwich Hospital, where he later died.
New Canaan police identified the student-athlete as sophomore Teddy Balkind.
"Teddy skated for the New Canaan Winter Club throughout his youth hockey career and was known to all as an all around incredible young man, son and brother," New Canaan police said Friday.
Police added, "The men and women of the New Canaan Police Department offer our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to the Balkind family and all of those impacted by this tragic incident."
