The Dekhockey community in Quebec is mourning the loss of 21-year-old goaltender Zachary Bourassa, who tragically collapsed and died during a game.

Yesterday, heartbreaking news about Zachary's passing surfaced on social media. This morning, Marco Normandin from HABSolumentFan provided more details. Zachary was playing in a tournament in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, when the unthinkable happened.

"According to our information, early in the game, the young goalie felt unwell and called for help before collapsing into the arms of one of the officials. According to information gathered from his family by Radio-Canada journalist Kassandra Lebel, he suffered cardiac arrest."

Zachary, a well-liked and passionate player, was in the finals with his regular team when he collapsed. Immediate attempts to resuscitate him were made by a nurse and a respiratory therapist on the scene, but despite their best efforts, they were unable to revive him.

His sudden death has left the community in shock and disbelief. Those who saw him earlier in the day said Zachary showed no signs of any health problems. His friends, family, teammates, and the Dekhockey community remember him as someone with a bright personality and a deep love for the game.
