February 27, 2018 - Students at St. Benedict Catholic School wanted to remember DJ Hancock. Hancock was a graduate from the St. Benedict class of 2014 and his first passion was hockey. Today, the student council organized the first-ever teacher versus student buyout ball hockey game to remember DJ.DJ was killed by a drunk driver in 2014 and his family works closely with Mothers’ Against Drunk Driving (or MADD). 814 dollars was raised by students who attended the buyout. The teachers put on a lot of pressure at the start of the game, but that fizzled and the student team grabbed a 2-1 win. Share Tweet
