The benefit game in Stavely supports families of three junior hockey players killed in a highway crash, with fundraisers raising tens of thousands of dollars, organizers said.

  • On Feb. 8, 2026 the Southern Alberta Mustangs are expected to play the Stavely Spurs Alumni tonight at the arena in Stavely, Alberta, south of Calgary.
  • Last week, three junior hockey players died when their car crossed a highway and collided with a semi truck hauling gravel.
  • Memorial jerseys placed outside the arena's main doors honor JJ Wright, 18, Kamloops, B.C., Cameron Casorso, 18, Kamloops, B.C., and Caden Fine, 17, Alabama.
  • Community fundraisers have, so far, raised tens of thousands of dollars for the families of the three players and received support from the hockey community and beyond.
  • The Canadian Press first published the report on Feb. 8, 2026, including photographs of memorial jerseys outside the arena after the Feb. 3, 2026 crash.
