A weekend trip to a cottage in Prince Edward Island has turned into tragedy for the local hockey community. One player died in the blaze while three others are dealing with injuries, some of them reportedly quite serious.
A news release from police in Cavendish, PEI stated officers attended the scene around 5:40 AM Monday, and found the cottage to be "fully engulfed in flames." The cause is still being determined.
Latimer was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Most of his hockey was played in Nova Scotia, as well as some time in New Brunswick. Since the 2021-22 season, he has played in both the NSJHL and the MHL for teams in East Hants, Brookfield, Truro, Grand Falls, and Cole Harbour. Our sincere condolences to family and friends of Latimer. Our thoughts are with them, as well as the three other players involved.
