Tributes continue to pour in for Teddy Balkind.
The 10th grader at St. Luke’s School in New Canaan, Connecticut died on Thursday after an on-ice collision during a game at the Brunswick School in Greenwich.
Since then, hockey fans from across country have paid tribute to the young man by placing hockey sticks outside their doorways as a touching, silent tribute to the young man - including the Boston Bruins - using the social media hashtag #sticksoutforTeddy.

From a single hockey stick, to a hallway lined with them, the tributes have touched the hockey world.
My condolences to the Balkin family. My older son played hockey on teams at the New Canaan Winter Club with Teddy. He was a kind boy with a great sense of humor from a wonderful family #sticksoutforTeddy pic.twitter.com/zMaVjCM3O4
