Minnesota Wild honors 10-year-old boy who died of leukemia

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we honor and remember Weston Pascowitz. That right there was a moment of silence held before last night’s game in honor of Weston, who was diagnosed with leukemia in January. His mom says he passed away peacefully on Tuesday while watching a hockey game. Wow.

The Minnesota Wild honors 10-year-old Weston Paszkiewicz, who lost his battle with leukemia.

His mother, Danielle, shared heartfelt words on his Caring Bridge page, saying, “Weston, you are the most courageous, strong, resilient, incredible person ever, and we love you forever.”

The Minnesota Wild is encouraging fans to leave a stick out as a tribute to Weston, a gesture that will be mirrored by communities, including the Long Lake Fire Department where Weston’s father serves.

This tribute will take place at the Wild game on Friday.
