Nico Mallozzi Memorial Fund
In the wake of the tragic death of ten-year-old Nico Mallozzi that rocked New Canaan and Roughriders Hockey Team, a Go Fund Me page has been set up on behalf of the Mallozzi family by Nico's fellow hockey teammates and coaches.
The page has been shared by nearly 6,000 people and to date, $148,328.00 has been raised for the family.
Visit the page here.
The page reads:
The Mallozzi family has just encountered a loss that no family should ever have to endure. Please join us in helping support the family as they cope with their unimaginable grief.
One of Nico's coaches described him best: Nico's sly little smile and charm have captivated, entertained and kept us on our toes. Our rink won't be the same without him. Nico was an amazing player, teammate, and friend.... not to mention, a bit of jokester with a trademark smile.
Our hockey family is ready to rally around the Mallozzi family....as the rest of the 2007 Roughriders have been saying #NicoStrong. Each and every teammate will miss you dearly! Not to mention the parents that were often drafted to help lace up your skates over the years....we all wish we could help him lace them up one more time!
