A very gifted young 12-year-old hockey player Natalia Moore has tragically passed away, which has plunged the hockey world into mourning.

Tragic news struck the hockey family on January 26, 2025, with a statement announcing the loss of 12-year-old Natalia Moore, a talented Tier 1 AAA player characterized by her team as talented and full of life.

It is with heavy heart and deep sadness that we have to share the horrific news of the unexpected passing of former Wyandotte Warrior, Natalia Moore. Natalia started her amazing hockey career as Warrior and went on to play Girls with Fox Motors. Natalia was a very lively, spirited and gifted young athlete that will be so very much missed.
Natalia wore numbers 44 and 26. If you'd like to put your sticks out in honor of Natalia, please feel free to do so and share a picture.
Natalia, you will forever be in our hearts.

In honor of Natalia, her Tier 2 team started the hashtag sticksoutforNatalia, inviting fans to pay tribute to her by putting out hockey sticks in front of their doors and posting photos on socials.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of #26 Natalia Moore, a player on our 12U Girls Tier 2 team. We were so glad to have her in our program this season and enjoyed getting to know her. She was a great teammate and enjoyed playing forward.
Please join us tonight in putting #sticksoutforNatalia. Feel free to share a picture below. Please pray for her family, friends, and teammates (current and former) during this heartbreaking time.
If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the suicide and crisis hotline.

Fox Motors Hockey Club posted a message with a similar sentiment, inviting everyone in a bind to reach out for help through a call to a suicide crisis hotline or a visit to resources included in their post.

A balloon release in honor of Natalia will occur on January 30 at Yack Arena in Wyandotte, Michigan.
