As a sign of support for the young hockey player, last night at their game, the Langley Rivermen presented Cailean with a signed jersey from NHL Tampa Bay Lightning star Steven Stamkos.  Along with the jersey, the team has invited the 16-year-old, who plays defense, to the club’s prospects’ camp.

“When I go to the rink and once I get on the ice, everything goes away for a little bit,” Cailean said. “So it’s just my little getaway… from things.”

No arrests have been made in relation to Paskall’s murder, but according to RCMP investigators the case is still their top priority.
