Two months before the accident, as part of an exercise in a nursing class, Molly Schnell had to write about how losing him and other loved ones would affect her life. It was unfathomable at the time. “I have lost part of myself,” he said in February while giving a victim-impact statement at the truck driver’s sentencing hearing. “I am not the same person I was on the morning of April 6.
Oystrick, who played 65 games for the Atlanta Thrashers, Anaheim Ducks and St. Louis Blues, was living in Colorado and coaching a school team when the crash happened. Then they lost eight of 10 and Oystrick stepped down. He said he was leaving in a message on Twitter. Neither he nor the team will discuss his departure.Barney immediately took over as interim head coach. The Broncos finished the regular season with a record of 35-19-3, their best in seven years. They made the playoffs, but lost to the Estevan Bruins in overtime in the seventh game of the first round.
