An Edmonton mother is honouring the memory of her two sons, by helping other kids play the sport they loved.
Tracy Stark started a free hockey camp for low-income families, as a way to remember her two sons, who were killed in 2016.
"My kids lost their lives and we are able to take their lives and give it back to children who can benefit from it," Stark said.
Ryder and Radek, were both hockey players before they were killed in their Spruce Grove home by their father, who then took his own life.
Stark said sports were a way for the boys to get away from their situation at home with their dad.
"Being part of a team and having friends to talk to – just escape what was going on – was huge for them. And I just felt like all kids need that."
After their deaths, she decided to start a society to help other kids find that space for connection and fun.
