Damn, this is a pretty awesome follow up to an awful situation. Love this. Video in the link.

The hockey player who lost three family members in a mass shooting at a Rhode Island rink last month played the role of hero for his team Wednesday night.

Senior Colin Dorgan scored on a breakaway in double overtime, lifting Blackstone Valley Co-op to a 3-2 victory over Portsmouth and advancing into the Rhode Island Division 2 hockey final.

"Greatest moment of my life," Dorgan told WPRI TV after his goal sent teammates pouring onto the ice in celebration and fans at Schneider Arena in Providence roaring with applause.

A month earlier, Dorgan's brother, mother and grandfather were killed when a shooter, identified as Robert Dorgan, opened fire on spectators at Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, during Blackstone Valley's senior day game. Officials have said the shooter, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, was specifically targeting family members. Two others were critically injured.
