After a battle with leukemia, 13-year-old local hockey player Dustin Lemire has passed away.

 

     The young man played his minor hockey in Swift Current.

     Dustin passed away Saturday evening at 9:30pm.  He was a favourite amongst his teammates.  Several fundraisers were held over the past year to help the Lemire family in their time of need.

     A funeral service will be held later this week.
