Up here in Canada, we also mourned on Sunday for a young Practice Roster player named Mylan Hicks. He played at Michigan State, tried out for the 49ers, and ended up here in Calgary.
By all accounts, an absolutely stand up guy. 23 years old, good student, and in the wrong place at the wrong time on Saturday night.

The story is he actually ended up buying a drink for the punk who eventually shot him, trying to calm things down in the club. Originally from Detroit, apparently his mother was quite glad to have her son come to Canada where he would be safer. It's just sad to see someone who comes to our country in pursuit of a dream, and just ends up paying the worst price.

I'm pretty sure most of you don't get much news on our little league up here, but they're athletes just trying to make a living.
