Students at St. Benedict Catholic School held a ball hockey tournament Feb. 26 to remember DJ Hancock.

The 18-year-old had had recently graduated from the school when he was killed by a drunk driver in 2014.

Because Hancock's first passion was hockey, so the school's student council organized a student-versus-teacher ball hockey tournament.

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.

The activity raised $814 for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).
