Stampeders mourn with family of slain teammate Mylan Hicks, vow to play for him
CALGARY — Closure wasn’t possible, but the Calgary Stampeders hoped to offer comfort to the family and teammates of Mylan Hicks on Thursday.
The team held a private memorial service at McMahon Stadium for Hicks, a 23-year-old defensive back who was shot and killed outside a Calgary nightclub last Saturday.
The Stampeders wanted to share the memories of Hicks with his parents, Reggie and Renee Hill.
“I would think with them being here, they would like to hear ‘my son’s been doing what he’s supposed to do,’” safety Jamar Wall said prior to the service.
