NHL player Erik Haula is honoring the memory of the child he lost to a miscarriage.
The Carolina Hurricanes player took to the ice Tuesday, just one day after he and his wife, Kristen Haula, learned they had lost their daughter during a routine doctor's visit.
The grieving athlete scored a pivotal goal that helped him lead his team to a 3-1 victory against the Montreal Canadiens. Immediately after the goal, he pointed his finger upward in honor of his little girl.
The following day, Erik paid tribute to her again by sharing a gallery of photos on Instagram, including an image of two hockey sticks decorated in remembrance.
"RIP 12/30/19" was handwritten across the sticks' red grip tape.
