Skyler Cameron of Nanaimo needs help in pursuing his dream of playing university hockey and eventually going pro after the heartbreaking loss of both his parents.
The 21-year-old defenseman just finished his junior career last spring with his hometown Nanaimo Clippers.
Near the end of the season, in May, his mom Linda died after a courageous battle with cancer. A few weeks later, his father Darryl died from an unexpected cardiac event.
With guidance from his dad a week before his death, Cameron accepted an offer to play for Trinity Western University's Spartans in Langley.
The decision was made so that Cameron can be close to his family and friends.
His father planned on funding his son's dream before his untimely death.
A GoFundMe page has been launched now to raise money for tuition, books, living expenses and training during his four years with the team.
