St. Louis Blues make major donation after former player Kyle Brodziak's family suffers tragedy

The Blues organization decided to make this donation after Kyle Brodziak's brother Ryan, and his nephew Ozzy, were both struck by a car that lost control while they were innocently walking their dog in a Sherwood Park neighbourhood.

Ozzy and Ryan were out for a casual stroll in the neighbourhood getting some exercise when they were smashed right into by this maniac recklessly driving. The fantastic news here is that both will survive and are now recovering. The Blues showed their support by offering this donation to them.

A GoFundMe page was also set up earlier in the week and it explained the gravity of the situation.

Despite Kyle Brodziak no longer being a member of the Blues and having only played with them for a few seasons, they proved to everyone that they truly take good care of their players whether they are current or former, and the fact that this wasn't directly involving Kyle, but rather his brother, who had no significance to the team, goes to show that they truly are a first class organization.

Kyle Brodziak started off his career with the Edmonton Oilers and later moved on to the Minnesota Wild. He then joined the Blues and overall played 14 years in the NHL, and accumulated a total of 917 NHL games, scoring 129 goals and 296 points. He also had a stint with the Minnesota Wild.

The GoFuneMe page for Kyle's brother Ryan has already garnered over 2,100 donations, totalling almost $250,000 as of Saturday morning. Anyone wishing to donate can go to https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-ryan-ozzy-brodziaks-medical-care

We wish Ryan and Ozzy a speedy recovery and hope they will be able to get back to a normal life. Our thoughts and prayers also go out to Kyle.
