TORONTO — Minor hockey players paid tribute to their fallen teammate in their first game since their star goalie was killed in an alleged triple homicide east of Toronto. The mood at the Toronto ice rink was sombre, with no cheers ringing out when either team scored a goal. Greater Toronto Hockey League strength conditioning coach Phil Zullo said being able to play was like meditation for the teens, some of whom were close friends of Pejcinovski. He commended the league’s decision to pay tribute to Pejcinovski and hold a moment of silence. “It’s difficult to know what to say to people,” he said over the hockey’s PA system before the game.
