CLINTON, N.Y. — The Clinton community is remembering a young hockey player whose strength inspired many.
Gavin Mosher, 15, passed away overnight Thursday after a 13-month fight with leukemia, according to his family.
Outside Clinton Arena, where Gavin played youth hockey, Zambonis were parked in front of the main doors as a tribute.
Last November, Gavin was honored at Clinton Arena during a preseason game between the Colgate and Union men’s hockey teams that raised support for him and his family.
His family described his fight as unimaginable and said he faced every challenge with courage.
Hockey fans gathered at the historic Clinton Arena for an exhibition game between Colgate and Union, but the event was about more than just sports.
Gavin Mosher, 14, a hockey player on the Clinton Comets 16U team, plays by the mantra of “Win Each Battle.” Now, he faces the biggest battle of his young life.
