The Purdue Hockey Team mourns the loss of one of their brothers, freshman Andrew T. Jackson, who lost his life in an accident traveling to a game on Saturday, December 1st. The van in which he was traveling, the first of three which the team uses, lost control on Indiana SR-25 about 5 miles north of Wingate, IN in extremely icy conditions.
"AJ", as the team knew him, had more heart than anyone could ever imagine. He was passionate for the game, school, and his family, friends, and teammates. Everyone will miss his amazing personality and the energy he brought into every challenge.
AJ, you are loved more than you can ever imagine. You will be missed, but never forgotten. You have touched us all and have gained a piece of each of our hearts.
