David Kapral, last season's captain for Father Judge, Died in a car accident last night.

I don't know of any other details.

Bryan and I would like to extend our condolences to the Kapral family and to the Father Judge organization.

was that the same accident involving Brian Newman?>

I don't know. All I know is that David's accident was on Roosevelt Blvd.

What happened with Newman, is he OK?

Dave was a great kid and this whole thing is very sad and unfortunate. I am glad that I got to know Dave over the past year as a hockey player, a well respected student in the school community, and a person. I recently watched the thanksgiving Judge/Roman game with Dave and he told me that he was playing on West Chester's practice squad as well as doing well in school. This whole thing is a shame and I am basically speechless about it.

We start back in school tomorrow, so when I get the info about Dave's funeral etc, I will post it on here.

Another '07 Judge grad was also killed in the car accident, but he is not the name mentioned above. His name was Joseph Spires. Apparently there was a 3rd person in the car but he is 26 and was in critical condition(according to nbc10.com).

Here is an article about the crash from the Inquirer.

God Bless David Kapral and his family.

O'Hara's Brian Newman was in a car accident a couple of days ago and was seriously injured. He is in the hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery but his season is over. Our prayers are offered for him to make a complete and healthy recovery.

Prayers go out to the Kapral family that the Lord watch over them in this time of unthinkable tragedy. God bless them.

How Sad for the hockey community and those families.

BE CAREFUL OUT THERE BOYS! KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING TO ANOTHER FAMILY!

Dave's viewing will be on Friday morning at 11 at St. Ephrem's church in Bensalem. There will be a funeral mass following the viewing at 1pm.

A very bad week for the local hockey community. In addition to losing Dave a coach from Neshaminy passed away on Tuesday. Mike Carroll coached his son all the way thru the league. He was always a gentleman and the 1st to offer to help.

Jeez Bud,
I'm sorry to hear that!
