The 20-year-old son of Minnesota hockey coach Bob Motzko has died of injuries from a car crash.

The speeding vehicle Mack Motzko was riding in went off the road in a suburb of Minneapolis late Saturday July 24th.

He died at a hospital after being taken there from the crash in Orono.

One of the other two people in the vehicle, a 24-year-old male in the front passenger seat, died at the scene.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
