Colby Cave left an indelible mark on the NHL community, which is continuing to honor his legacy.
The Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins announced that Thursday's game will be a celebration of Cave's life, cut tragically short in April 2020 by a brain bleed. Cave was just 25 years old.
Prior to the game, there's a planned video tribute containing highlights from Cave's time with both teams. His wife Emily will then perform the ceremonial puck drop.
"He's in your mind all the time," Oilers' head coach Dave Tippett said this week.
