The Blues, with their alumni association, donated a total of $10k to their former player, and former Oiler Kyle Brodziak after his brother and nephew were hit by car.

The two family members, Ryan and Ozzy were out just walking their dog when a vehicle drove on the sidewalk and hit them both, and the dog Gouda. Both Ryan and Ozzy are still under medical care, while Gouda has been released from the emergency Veterinary care and is recovering at home.

According to the GoFundMe set up earlier this week, Ryan, Kyle's brother "suffered a significant spinal cord injury, resulting in multiple fractures to his spine» His 11-month-old son Ozzy, is recovering from skull fractures and at Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton.

Kyle Brodziak played with the Blues from 2015 to 2018. Their GoFundMe donation of $5,000 was matched by the St. Louis alumni association.

Brodziak began and ended his career in the NHL as an Edmonton Oiler. He was a part of the 2005-06 season and again in 2008-09. He returned to his hometown team to finish his career with 70 more games during the 2018-19 campaign.

His NHL career saw him play in 917 games, over 14 seasons with the Oilers, Blues, and Minnesota Wild and the St. Paul, AB product. He scored 129 goals, and had a career with 296 total points.

As of Thursday afternoon the GoFundMe page had over 1,700 donations and raised $188,930 for the family. Ryan Brodziak was described on the page as a loving husband and new father, and one of the kindest souls you will meet.

Ryan is a business owner in Edmonton, with multiple restaurants that he owned and operated, as well as a co-organizer for the Bikeathon each year to benefit the unhoused population.

Our thoughts are with the Brodziak family for a full recovery for Ryan and Ozzy. If you are interested in the GoFundMe page, it can be accessed through this link.
