Hundreds pay respect to young hockey star in Tottenham

Hundreds remembered Avery Ann Andrew, 18, the popular Captain of the Barrie Jr. Sharks hockey team at a memorial Monday and at her funeral Tuesday in Tottenham, northwest of Vaughan. Her teammates called Avery a dear friend, leader and “ball of sass.” She died New Year’s Day when she was the passenger in a car driven by a friend that collided with another on a Simcoe Country road. She is survived by her mom and dad, John and Kim Andrew and sisters Jade, Emma, and Paige. Avery is also widely mourned in the women’s hockey family which includes the Leaside Jr. Wildcats. The funeral was Tuesday at Tottenham Community Centre.
