A Rhode Island high school hockey team won the state championship weeks after one of its players lost three family members in a shooting at a local ice rink.

Colin Dorgan, a member of the team, helped lead his squad to the state title following the deaths of his mother, brother, and grandfather in the shooting incident last month. The tragedy occurred at a Rhode Island hockey arena where the family members were killed.

Despite the personal loss, Dorgan continued to play with his team as they advanced through the championship tournament. The team rallied around their teammate during the difficult period following the shooting.

The championship victory came just weeks after the deadly incident that claimed the lives of Dorgan's three family members. Details about the shooting circumstances and the specific ice rink location have not been fully disclosed.

The state championship represents a significant achievement for the high school hockey team, coming during what has been an emotionally challenging time for one of their key players and the broader hockey community in Rhode Island.
